As reported by Africa Top Sports last night, Real Madrid played to a draw on Villarreal’s pitch in a closely contested match.
Gareth Bale, positioned as a right-winger, made a significant impact by scoring his first goal for the club in the 38th minute, thereby equalizing after Villarreal’s initial goal by R. Cani in the 20th minute. The goal has been described as historic, and you can watch the video capturing this momentous occasion.
Gareth Bale left the pitch in the last quarter of an hour of play. His high-profile transfer for 100 million euros drew attention, and his coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed satisfaction after the draw, stating, “I think he is happy tonight because scoring the first goal for Real Madrid is very good for him. It was a difficult match, for him and for the other players, but he showed a good attitude on the pitch.”
Gareth Bale himself shared his sentiments on Twitter, saying, “Proud of my debut and happy to have played an hour this evening, but disappointed not to have won. See you Tuesday now.”
It’s noteworthy that the tweet was written in English and not yet in Spanish. Real Madrid is set to face Galatasaray in Turkey in the upcoming Champions League match on Tuesday.
