Gareth Bale recently had a lighthearted conversation with Rio Ferdinand about Cristiano Ronaldo’s abilities outside of football. When asked who he would like to play golf with, Bale responded jokingly that it would be fun to play with Ronaldo, highlighting that it would be amusing to see how the Portuguese star would fare at golf. Ferdinand, known for his wit, responded with a laugh, saying that he didn’t think Ronaldo could handle golf, adding to the playful banter between the two.
Ronaldo, who has achieved legendary status in football and is the top scorer in men’s professional football with 915 goals, is known for his incredible athleticism. Despite his athleticism on the pitch, Bale’s comment about golf humorously implies that even an athlete of Ronaldo’s caliber could struggle with the game, highlighting how different sports can challenge even the most skilled athletes.
This playful exchange between Bale and Ferdinand is a reminder of the strong bonds that were formed during their time at Real Madrid, where Bale and Ronaldo played together for several years. Bale, who retired in 2023 after a successful career, had a great relationship with Ronaldo during their time at the Spanish club, and he emphasized in 2023 that he never had any issues with his teammates, including Ronaldo, despite the external narratives that sometimes surrounded their relationship.
