September 9, 2015 – Gareth Bale’s agent says “You have [Cristiano] Ronaldo, who is getting to the end of his career.”
September 12, 2015 – Cristiano Ronaldo scores a hat-trick in 20 minutes.
Jonathan Barnett, who represents Gareth Bale, claimed that his client and Ronaldo “are almost level already,” in terms of talent.
But the Portuguese left no doubt in our minds about who the better player is when he found the net three times in just 2o minutes when Real Madrid travelled to Espanyol this afternoon.
