that's the reason he was sending rockets left and right in both tottenham & madrid, also he was one of the fastest football players ever (said bartra probably)
It's an overused meme on the said sub. Another example would be, let's say a game is 0-0 after 90 mins, you can just farm karma there and be like, "Why won't they just shoot it to the back of the net, are they stupid?"
Regardless, the common speculation for years about Gareth Bale's balding has been near exclusively about losing it [at the back.](https://www.veraclinic.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Gareth-Bale-Bald-Spot-.webp) Hence the extensive use of the top knot. Bale adopting a new hairstyle, one which would be harder to hide a balding crown under, suggests he's had some treatment for it.
Always curious why he didn’t do it sooner for someone who liked to change his hairstyle so often early in his career before he settled with the top knot.
you gotta shave your head and not sweat + the scars are obvious for a while, and it takes time to heal. Difficult things to find when you're a big football player, let alone a big name at Madrid.
He certainly had a thinning crown. His hairline wasn't as bad but you can see from this video there's certainly much thicker volume as well.

He definitely had a transplant. His hairline wasn't bad before, but it's definitely less regressed now than it was before.
That doesn't happen naturally in men.
Generally speaking you can take a moderate dose of a DHT regulator like finasteride. Your hair will still fall off otherwise cause it's the same hair you always had, just from someplace else.
Depends so much on the shape of the head. People with a big forehead and/or a narrow head look horrible without hair.
A friend of mine lost most of his hair very fast when he was in his late twenties and he went from being a 8/10 to maybe a 4/10. He 100% needed that hair to cover his head.
Finastride been in use forever but people always care about ED issues. Have a coworker that got a transplant, but all that money and you can see the hairline is receeding again 2 years later because he hopped off finastride.
Of course, everyone should make their own decisions. But it's always worth being aware of reality and not getting scared off because some people online have bad experiences.
Totally off-topic but Bale is the reason why I support Spurs as a Benfica fan. I remember that 2012 season where Bale alone carried Spurs to the 4th place. It was just unplayable.
That was an incredible season. Every match seemed to end in a Bale 30-yard screamer in the last minute.
As a Welshman I always loved him, but the Euro 2016 qualifying and tournament cemented that love
also underrated is his shooting from an angle. he has so many goals from really tight angles which he scored with perfect placement while also absolutely cunting it
Bro could've been a GOD if he was more into football and had his mindset locked in, he was physically more gifted than Ronaldo, was as fast as ⚡ and stronger than any defender yet he just didn't care enough to go all the way... One could argue that the injuries could've been avoided with better planning but yeah...
One of my few favorite RM players ever and that's less than 10 players, so that's something.
Nah mate he definitely jackhammers his giant welsh dragon dongus to build up that muscle. There’s probably some baby oil involved and some sort of incomprehensible number of voweled welsh curse words being yelled as he slams down from absolute length that is his tip to his giant flawless balls.

Yes Gareth, why would you do that
His legs are massive
When he was at Madrid they had to order a custom seated leg curl machine for him because the max was too light.
Keep going
Stop bro
Thick thighs.

He is one of the most physically gifted players ever.
Goddamn

Makes Varane of all player look meek
r/oddlyterrifying

Why are you looking at his thighs? Should be focused on his cheekbones mate
It's all the golf
Just like puddings
Klopp: “why would you score that Bale? Are you stupid?”
r/soccercirclejerk leaking from this comment
can I google something, to know more about this?

That hair transplant is A+ tier
Is it a transplant? I don’t remember his hairline being bad, just always had it tied up.
That top knot didn't fool anyone. Bald cunt.
A top knot doesn't cover up a receding hairline tho
He was supposedly suffering from spot baldness at the crown, and a top knot does cover that quite well.
But this video doesn’t show the crown of his head, so I’d assume the comment about his hair transplant is referring to the forehead hairline.
Right but the comment here is clearly talking about his hairline. A top knot doesn't help your hairline, it makes it worse by pulling it up.

But his hair is just swept back. It could still be hiding a bald spot.
[удалено]
I know.
It’s a line from game of thrones
It's a line from Game of Thrones.
underrated line from the Hound :)
Top knot doesn't cover your hairline. Always had a great hairline.
The top knot covered the second hairline on top of his head. Jokes aside, I was just referencing Game of Thrones.
That line was brutal, I felt that burn even though it was a fictional character
He certainly had a thinning crown. His hairline wasn't as bad but you can see from this video there's certainly much thicker volume as well. https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltfe399902fd10a9d5/Gareth_Bale_LAFC_2022.jpg
Finisteride fan help with that
Probably not a transplant but from other pictures of him recently, he looks to have had treatment for his thinning crown.
He definitely had a transplant. His hairline wasn't bad before, but it's definitely less regressed now than it was before. That doesn't happen naturally in men.
his hairline is literally the exact same, here it's covered by hair hanging over the edges
Remember to take your meds after transplanting kids.
I used to think transplanting was a one off thing. Turns out you need to take constant meds and hormones to keep it intact. Not worth it
Generally speaking you can take a moderate dose of a DHT regulator like finasteride. Your hair will still fall off otherwise cause it's the same hair you always had, just from someplace else.
Or….. Just go bald

It's less about the size of the forehead or how wide the head is. It's more about the head having a nice "oval" shape.
Going bald is not an option for everyone, i'll take my chance with transplant if I ever lose my hair
And kiss goodbye to your dating life - which is already a massive challenge
The potential side effects are enough to scare me into just going bald.
Worth trying. Vast majority of people will be absolutely fine. If not, stop taking them.
Finastride been in use forever but people always care about ED issues. Have a coworker that got a transplant, but all that money and you can see the hairline is receeding again 2 years later because he hopped off finastride.

Exactly what I was thinking. At least he can now live without that man bun.
He’s always had good hair lol
When he played for us the second time he had no hair on his crown, it was pulled back to cover it
Ngl I prefer the man bun
Wales. Golf. Mugging off Klopp. Madrid

he was GOATED that season, [especially this on](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mc0D7Ijz2_A)e
Him, Suarez and RVP in 12/13 might be the best Player of the Year race I've seen, all three carried and won games on their own with moments of magic
he just did whatever he wanted to that season and it worked. unreal player
Unlucky man
The answers in this interview really are Wales. Golf. Madrid.
and stir fries apparently
Christian Bale as G. Bale: *"Well, I Grew Up In* *~~Gotham~~* *Tottenham, And I Turned Out Alright.”*
My man just fucking loves golf
My favorite player and my favorite goal.
Crazy how neither his or Ronaldo's bicycle won Puskas. Won by a goal that Ribery used to scroe weekly
Not even Salahs best goal smh
Truly the stupidest Puskas ever
Yea but its just a puskas chill
I think very few players can shoot the ball as good as Bale from distance and under pressure. His long range dips were all bangers.
also underrated is his shooting from an angle. he has so many goals from really tight angles which he scored with perfect placement while also absolutely cunting it
I'm a massive Arsenal fan but Bale is one of my favorite players ever. Just a weird story and incredible player
His hair looks so good, that transplant is 🔥
Same place Rob Holding went, clearly. None of this Turkish nonsense.
As a Liverpool fan I'm glad that goal happened, if we lost purely to the ridiculous fuckups it would have been more painful.
>ridiculous fuckups To the deliberate arm twisting and the deliberate concussion you mean
Yeah I hate when this game gets mentioned without mentioning the Ramos cheap shot that fucked the keeper. Fuck Real Madrid.
ALWAYZ 😎
Thank you for actually telling it like it is.
Great guy
It is so cool that playing for their countries means so much to even the top footballers.
Love that some of his best football memories are with Wales
Best CL final goal ever. The speed of the cross and the height of the bicycle kick made it sooo much more impressive than any other bicycle kick.
I agree Gareth, that dragon kit is cool
Sexy Celtic man. I can see why the Romans were afraid of the Gauls after seeing him.
he looks like how I envision characters in Beowulf
?
british footballers love entourage, feel like they always mention it in interviews or podcasts.
Real Madrid legend! Love this guy.
Bro could've been a GOD if he was more into football and had his mindset locked in, he was physically more gifted than Ronaldo, was as fast as ⚡ and stronger than any defender yet he just didn't care enough to go all the way... One could argue that the injuries could've been avoided with better planning but yeah... One of my few favorite RM players ever and that's less than 10 players, so that's something.
Gythy, dm me. It's been years.
I've loved these Bale interviews during the finals, he looks so happy and more candid than he's ever been.
Lovely man. Incredibly dull though.
Is his right arm significantly thicker than his left? Is that a golf thing or... ?
Nah mate he definitely jackhammers his giant welsh dragon dongus to build up that muscle. There’s probably some baby oil involved and some sort of incomprehensible number of voweled welsh curse words being yelled as he slams down from absolute length that is his tip to his giant flawless balls.
top stuff u/inside-finish4611
> Which football moment do you still think about? He should have said my overhead kick against liverpool
He is looking increasingly similar to his brother, Christian.
As a big Christian Bale Fan, that would be something, Bale as Bale.
Dis he get a hair transplant?
Now I understand his move to the US... He watched Entourage.
“Funny”
This guy has the charisma of a Trout
one of the most boring people i've ever seen
You haven't seen Harry Kane or Jordan Henderson.
