With Real Madrid's star man Cristiano Ronaldo suspended for Madrid's next two La liga games, responsibility falls to the most expensive player in the world to fill in his shoes. There have been talks that Bale performs better when Ronaldo is not in the team due to his 11 goals in 11 games without the star man. An example was his memorable goal against their bitter rivals Barcelona in the Copa del ray final last year which won Madrid the trophy or more recently in La liga against lower side Cordoba who Los Blancos were expected to win confidently but seemed to struggling against, With time running out Ronaldo was red carded, it seemed Madrid were going to drop two valuable points and lose their position at the top of the table. Fortunately, up stepped Gareth Bale who secured the points for madrid after winning a penalty and cooly converting from the spot. With the absence of Cristiano, Bale has to step up and drag Real Madrid over the line or at least till Ronaldo is back. For Ronaldo this might be a much needed rest helping him come back better and more refreshed,but for Gareth Bale, "its show time!"
