2) Gareth Bale (Real Madrid)
A target of abuse at the Bernabeu and in the Spanish press of late, Gareth Bale will be the main focus again for Real Madrid as he looked totally anonymous in his side’s 2-1 defeat to Barcelona at the Nou Camp. Real weren’t even that bad, and Barca got a little lucky, but the difference? One former Premier League star in Luis Suarez had that moment of magic required from top, top players, while Bale simply went missing.
