#9 Gareth Bale (Wales, Real Madrid)
Goals Scored: 3
The Welshman was expected to shoulder much of the goalscoring responsibilities this season, with the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, and Bale has responded by performing better than the Portuguese in front of goal so far this season. He has already scored 4 goals from 8 games in all competitions, one more than Ronaldo till the start of October.
In the La Liga, Bale has scored 3 goals from 6 games. He started his season with a goal in the very first match against Getafe. He would score in the next two games too, against Girona and Leganes. However, he has been unable to find the back of the net in the League since then and Real lost one of them and the other two games ended in a draw.
He did score in the win over Roma in the Champions League, but picked up an injury in the draw against Atletico Madrid in the La Liga last weekend, which saw him miss the defeat at the hands of CSKA Moscow in the Champions League. Real Madrid will be hoping that their current talisman regains his goal scoring form as soon as he makes his return from the injury.
