Bale wears No.50 on Real Madrid return in pre-season friendly vs AC Milan

The Wales star is back in Real Madrid's colours for the first time in more than a year following his loan at Tottenham

Gareth Bale will wear the No.50 shirt after being named in Real Madrid's starting line-up for their pre-season encounter with AC Milan in Klagenfurt, Austria.

It marks the Wales international’s first performance for Los Blancos since he departed on loan to Tottenham last October. Indeed, the last time he took to the field in the club’s colours was a Primera Division match against Real Mallorca in June 2020.

Bale, who signed for Madrid in 2013, has previously played 251 matches for the club, scoring 105 goals, and was a key figure in four Champions League title triumphs.
