While the official ratings are yet to be confirmed, it certainly appears from Real Madrid's Instagram post that 79 is the highest that Bale could be given that he's missed out on their 'highest-rated list'.

GIVEMESPORT'S Phil Spencer says...

This will certainly be a kick in the unmentionables for Gareth Bale.

The Real Madrid man's career has come to an absolute standstill with the Spanish giants after his fallout with Zinedine Zidane.

It's hard to see him breaking back in to the plans of Zidane, which means that he'd be better off moving on.

That said, his astronomical salary means that it could be tricky to secure a move.

Until that move happens it seems that Bale may be spending a bit more time on his PS4 than usual.

That's why his new rating of 79 will annoy him more than usual.

Oh well, it looks like we'll be seeing more of Gareth Bale on the golf course than ever before.
