Former Real Madrid doctor Jesus Olmo has claimed that former Real Madrid star Gareth Bale was a better athlete than Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo, who has sealed a mega-money move to Saudi Arabia after his release by Manchester United, is famed for his physique and athleticism.

Ronaldo maintains a good shape even at the age of 37. However, Olmo has claimed that Bale is an extraordinary athlete.

He told Ideal: “Perhaps the best athlete I’ve ever seen is Bale.

“Gareth Bale is a natural athlete who can excel in practically any sport.

“He has incredible athletic skills, and I would also say technical skills.

“He is the one who impressed me most in all aspects.”

According to Olmo, we didn’t get to see the best of Bale at Real Madrid due to his persistent injuries.
