We should also point out that since arriving to the Spanish capital, the Welsh striker has gone on to win the Copa del Rey, Champions League, European Supercup and Club World Cup. Many would argue that he has been worth his price tag because he has produced some fine displays in all the finals, scoring three goals and assisting twice.
However if you delve a bit deeper into the statistics and look at the amount of times Madrid have won with and without him, he might be sitting a bit more uneasy. Since joining his dream club, Bale has missed 29 games, 16 of those have been due to injury while 13 have been for tactical reasons, whats worrying is that his team have managed to win without him in 25 of the 29 matches played.
More interesting Real Madrid only actually lost one of those games, and drew the other three, the lose against Celta in La Liga in the 2013/2014 season. Bale was called up the the game against Celta but Ancelotti decided to rotate his side and use Isco instead.
Since arriving Bale has playing in 98 games including all competitions, and has scored 41 goals and given 35 assists.
In 70 of those matches Real Madrid managed to win (more than 71%), in 13 they lost (13%) and lost 15 times (15%).
The 15 goals that Bale lost with the club were with: Borussia Dortmund (2-0), Schalke (3-4), Juve (2-1), Barcelona (2-1 and 3-4), Sevilla (2-1), Real Sociedad (4-2), Atlético (1-2), Valencia (2-1), Atlético (4-0), Athletic (1-0), Barcelona (2-1), Atlético (2-0 in the Copa del Rey and 1-0 in the Supercup).
