Gareth Bale with Cristiano Ronaldo on first day of training at Real Madrid

After playing 30 minutes for Wales on Tuesday, Gareth Bale finally joined up with his new Real Madrid team-mates on Wednesday. Video released by the club showed a smiling Bale being greeted by team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo as he arrived at the Valdebebas training ground.

He was then greeted by manager Carlo Ancelotti and his assistant Zinedine Zidane at a pre-training session in a meeting room.

Bale then joined the rest of players for a two-hour session, where he met up with his former Spurs team-mate Luka Modric.

Only Ancelotti, and perhaps his coaching staff, know whether Bale will make his debut during Saturday's La Liga match against Villarreal.

But Wales boss Chris Coleman said on Wednesday that Bale is not fit enough to play a full 90 minutes.

Real have won their opening three La Liga matches under Ancelotti, who replaced Jose Mourinho at the end of last season. Report by Mark Morris.

Why does it look like this was recorded in 1992?

[alexandershakib]

Am I the only person who

a) At first didn't recognise Bale's hair
b) Thought that he looked better with shorter hair?

Man i remember how exited i was when Bale came and boy what a bittersweet story Bale was the last two years destroyed his status as one of the most iconic Real Madrid players of all time.

At 0:27 you can hear modic saying to Bale "yeah yeah remember that spurs game" I think

The good old days. 🥺 it was amazing, Ronaldo In Real, Bale in Real, no one knew bout Mbappe and Recent Foden etc. Messi and ronaldo Biggest rivals but also close friends in La liga

[captaineagleeye]

Man... I just want to thank spurs for polishing them. They did a great job with Bale and modric such great players and beautiful(personality) people. They were the missing players we needed to win the 10th. I just wish we could bring Ozil back and hopefully a striker to put a little pressure on Benzema. The team has a perfect chemistry it would just need two players to make it more competitive but otherwise perfect.
Hala Madrid !!!!
