Real Madrid closed their round of friendly matches before facing LaLiga Santander 2021-2022 next week with a goalless draw this Sunday against Milan, in a match where they offered a better face than against Rangers and that meant the return to the team by Gareth Bale.

More than a year ago, the Cardiff footballer had not worn the Real Madrid jersey, but it seems that Carlo Ancelotti, a coach who got a good performance from him during his first time on the bench of the 13-time European champion, is willing to give him a shot. new chance to shine.

Reggiolo's starter at the Wörthersee Stadion in Klagenfurt, Austria, the Welshman, who was quite active in the 45 minutes, with a missed penalty included, which he had in an eleven where the Austrian David Alaba was also, who debuted with his A new team formed a central pair with Nacho and who left a good image. Luka Modric, Casemiro, Militao and Vinicius also had their first minutes, with the first two also starting, which gave Real Madrid more packaging in relation to the defeat in Scotland despite their suffering in the first quarter of an hour.

The friendly started with a frenetic pace and Milan was superior in that section, with many arrivals on their left side with Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao.

Bale wanted to be the protagonist and assumed a lot of offensive responsibility and was the one who had the best of the friendly.

The Welshman received a good pass from Jovic, but was knocked down when he stood alone in front of the

.

The Cardiff player decided to launch it, but his low and not excessively powerful shot was cleared by Maignan.

After the break, the game changed.

Ancelotti made seven starting changes and the pace gradually declined so the chances barely appeared.

Modric had the best for the Madridistas with a powerful shot to the crossbar and Brahim, a player on loan from the Whites, gave the reply with another shot that made Lunin put to work.

Sergio Arribas, with a volley that went over the crossbar to a pass from Vinicius, had the most outstanding in the final measures to avoid the 0-0.
