Now that he plays golf, Gareth Bale chooses the best player in the world, it's not Cristiano Ronaldo

Gareth Bale retired from football a year ago to dedicate himself to goal professionally. The 33-year-old former player is a Real Madrid legend, because despite not being the most loved player among the fans, the Welshman has 5 UEFA Champions League and more than 100 goals with Madrid.

Now, the The Golfer, as his nickname was, has gone viral again in the last few hours, due to a personal confession that has gone around the world. The former Tottenham Hotspur player is at the venue of the UEFA Champions League final between Manchester City vs Inter Milan, and the player was subjected to an interview.

In said interview, the Welshman was asked who was the best player to have won a UEFA Champions League, and without hesitating for a single second, Gareth Bale answered: Lionel Messi. In a matter of minutes, his response went viral on social networks, as Real Madrid fans believe that he betrayed his former teammate.
