Real Madrid forward,
Gareth Bale, has broken former England star, David Beckham’s record for most La
Liga appearances by a British player in the Spanish topflight league.
The 28-year-old broke
Beckham’s La Liga record by starting against Getafe on Saturday night.
Bale and Cristiano
Ronaldo gave the home side a two-goal lead in the first half, before Francisco
Portillo pulled one back from the spot. But Ronaldo, who has now scored 300
goals in LaLiga, wrapped up the win with a 78th-minute header as the game
eventually ended 3-1 in favour of the home team.
The Wales international
now holds the record for the most appearances in a La Liga game by a British
player.
Beckham, a former
Manchester United and La Galaxy star, played 116 times for Real in the Spanish
league, scoring 13 times and providing 33 assists.
Bale, who has now
appeared for the La Liga Champions 117 times, has struggled with injuries in
the past 18 months at the Los Blancos.
The winger is finally
beginning to find his fitness again in the past few weeks.
Real Madrid are
currently on 3rd position in the La Liga log with 54 points.
