Gareth Bale: Wales forward misses penalty on return to Real Madrid action

Gareth Bale played in Real Madrid's friendly with AC Milan on Sunday after returning to Spain following his loan spell at Tottenham Hotspur.

Bale, who wore the number 50 shirt, played the first 45 minutes of the goalless draw in Austria.

The Wales forward won a penalty late in the first period but took the spot-kick himself and saw his effort saved.

Bale, 32, had not played for Real since June 2020 having fallen out of favour under former boss Zinedine Zidane.

But after being appointed Real head coach for a second time in June, Carlo Ancelotti indicated that Bale had a future at the Bernabeu.
