Close friends Quote by Gareth Bale
“When I was younger, I had some close friends who always loved European football, and Real Madrid at that time were the dominant force. I remember family holidays when we used to go to Spain, and we'd bring back replica shirts of Real Madrid and pretend to be the players when we played in the park.”
![“I loved [Real Madrid]. It was a real experience, playing with a great team. One of the first questions I'm often asked is 'What was Madrid like?' It's got that mystique about it. It's a magical place and a magical team, and everything about it is great.” quote by Michael Owen](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/1e7/michael-owen-7211_firsts_i-loved-real-madrid-it-was-a-real-experi_2962719.jpg)
