Gareth Bale made his Los Angeles FC debut last night in a 2-1 win over Nashville and his first two touches were a big talking point.
Bale joined the MLS side this summer following his departure from Real Madrid after nine trophy-laden seasons. The five-time Champions League winner’s arrival in the United States was met with a lot of fanfare and last night was the 33-year-old’s first chance to show what he can do.
It only took two touches to wow the crowd. After coming on as a second-half substitute, Bale’s first touch was a volley pass inside and his second was a backheel flick to one of his new teammates. The crowd’s roar for the second signalled their approval as the Welshman’s career in America gets underway.
