Gareth Bale vs Cristiano Ronaldo: A Statistical comparison

Just a few seasons back, Bale was not as big a player as he is now. He used to miss his shots, wander away from his position, and rarely used to be in the winning Tottenham side.

This season the Wales international has been exceptional and is the driving force behind Tottenham’s hopes to qualify for the Champions League. Even though he has played off-position and gone through the center, he has scored some goals. His brace against Newcastle took him to 13 Premier League goals for the season and ensured that Tottenham picked up all 3 points.

There have always been comparisons between Ronaldo and Bale. No doubt Ronaldo is a better player than Bale is today; but what about the time when Ronaldo was Bale’s age? Ronaldo has evolved as a player and has become even better since he left United.

Here’s a statistical comparison between the two player’s when Ronaldo was Bale’s age.
