Gareth Bale to Cardiff 'ticks all the boxes' as Real Madrid career comes to sad end
Cardiff City would 'tick all the boxes' as his Real Madrid career comes to a sad end.The Welshman has spent nine years at the Santiago Bernabeu but will depart at the end of the season. He was won the La Liga title three times, but his career in the Spanish top-flight is already over before the final day.Carlo Ancelotti opted to leave Bale out of his squad for Madrid's final league game of the campaign against Real Betis on Friday. Though he could feature in the Champions League final next Saturday, that would be unlikely, with attention now turning towards his future.If Wales qualify for this winter's World Cup, it is expected that Bale will carry on playing for another season.
