He won 5 Champions League with Cristiano Ronaldo, now he sells hamburgers for a living

The first footballer to be sold for more than 100 million euros within the transfer market, the Welshman Gareth Bale, announced that he was hanging up his boots at the age of 33, after being eliminated in the group stage of the World Cup in Qatar 2022.

In his short but glorious football career, the player broke the record of 111 appearances for his Welsh national team. He became a figure in the team after helping out in the 2016 and 2020 Euro Cups. Finally, he was key in qualifying for a World Cup played in the Middle East, something he had not achieved since 1958. In addition, he won five Champions Leagues with Real Madrid.

He managed to wear the Real Madrid shirt, being the most expensive purchase of 2013, being signed for nothing more and nothing less than 100 million euros, which became a record transfer. During his first season, Madrid won his tenth Champions League, because he had waited more than 10 years. Bale played 12 games and scored 6 goals. But due to an internal fight, he went to MLS through the back door. His last season was wearing the Los Angeles FC jersey, where he became one of the greatest figures to reach Major League Soccer, before Lionel Messi arrived. There, he went unnoticed by not winning any relevant title
