An incredible player and he is still going
Real Madrid's Gareth Bale on Cristiano Ronaldo
“An incredible player and he is still going."
Ronaldo has scored 24 goals in 36 appearances for Juventus this season.
Altogugh that ratio is a drop from his time in Spain, his recent hat-trick against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League proved he still has what it takes at 34-years-old.
Bale himself has been heavily linked to the Madrid exit door this summer, and he has also revealed his love for his former side.

"I appreciated everything Tottenham had done for me but I think they did understand at the time,” Bale continued.
“When such a big club comes in for you like Real Madrid it is difficult to turn them down.
"Even though I was enjoying my time at Tottenham, loved the club and I still do, to have Real Madrid come for you, you'll regret saying no."
Bale and Wales take on Slovakia in their first 2020 European Championship qualifier on Sunday.
