The 85000 capacity Bernabeu stadium in Madrid came alive on November 30 as fans forgot their favorite footballer and Real Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo for 90 minutes. The occasion was Real’s home game against Valladolid on Saturday night and what a game it turned out to be for the locals. On display that day was Real’s latest sensation and world’s most expensive football recruit to date, Gareth Bale. With Ronaldo not playing on account of a strained muscle, the game was completely focused on Bale. But the famous Portuguese was present at Bernabeu on match day and television cameras showed him watching the proceedings as intently as the screaming supporters. Keeping him company was his Russian girlfriend and model Irina Shayk and she was a far more important reason than football for TV cameras zooming in that area, time and time again, as the match began.
