Real Madrid released Zinedine Zidane's squad to face Real Betis in the last game of the 2018/19 La Liga season. In the 19 man list, Keylor Navas' and Gareth Bale are the key inclusions and could play their last game for the club.

There is plenty of speculation over the futures of Gareth Bale and Keylor Navas and Zinedine Zidane has selected both footballers for what could be their last game for Real Madrid. 

Although they are different cases, the French coach does not view the Costa Rican as the first choice goalkeeper for next season and he wants to sell the Welshman in order to get big money to be able to rebuild his squad. 

Despite the public spat between Bale's agent and Zidane, the Real Madrid coach has decided to select him for a league game. It is against Betis in which he could have the chance to say goodbye in front of his home crowd. 

Although it is true that he still has a contract with the club, the Frenchman has made it clear to the Welshman that he does not figure in his plans for next season and his idea is for him to be sold this season so that he can leave money in the club's coffers. 

The list of 19 footballers is the following: Navas, Courtois and Altube; Carvajal, Varane, Nacho, Marcelo and Reguilón; Kroos, Modric, Valverde, Llorente, Asensio, Brahim and Isco; Benzema, Bale, Lucas Vázquez and Vinicius.

With Casemiro and Vallejo suspended, Zidane cannot also play Odriozola, Ramos, Mariano and Ceballos who are injured or Luca, who will play for Real Madrid B
