As La Liga remains more uncertain than ever, with just one point separating the two rivals, Gareth Bale has shared his prediction. The Welshman leans towards FC Barcelona.
As a former key player for Real Madrid, where he won several titles in Spain, Bale knows the pressure of Clasicos and the final sprints all too well. This season, the top spot has changed hands multiple times, proving the fierce battle until the end.
A More Balanced Barça
Against all odds for a former Madrid player, Bale stands by his choice: “To be honest, I see FC Barcelona as slight favorites this season.” A bold opinion he backs up with the current profile of the Blaugrana.
According to him, the team led by Hansi Flick is “more balanced and more consistent.” He adds, “Titles are decided by quality in key moments, and right now Barça seems to have that edge.”
However, Bale doesn’t dismiss the White House, reminding us that Real Madrid remains formidable in big matches. But over the course of a season, squad depth and stability often make the difference. In his eyes, the race can still swing, but he finds it hard to see the Madrid side lifting the trophy at the end of the season.
