Its sad that everything he has done has been forgotten - Luka Modric on Bale
Gareth Bale

Luka Modric has appreciated Gareth Bale’s impact during his time at Real Madrid.

The former Spurs player is on a season loan with his former side after months of falling out with Zidane.

The Welshman has two years left on his current contract following an extension with Real Madrid through June 2022 that is worth up to $33 million in salary and bonus annually. 

Bale won two league titles, one Copa Del Rey, three Club World Cups, two European Super Cups and four Champions League trophies.

The former mate, Luka Modric has treated his situation unfair that “everything he's done has been forgotten in the past year” at Los Blancos.

Speaking to COPE, the midfielder defended the 31-year old time at the Bernabeu and described his amazing personality in his 2555 days in the capital of Spain.

"I have spent a lot of time with Gareth, almost all of my professional career: four years at Tottenham and seven years here. What I can say about Gareth is that he's an amazing guy," Modric told COPE.

"He's a little bit shy, his personality is very similar to mine. What has been said about him lately is not fair, maybe he's judged for the last few years, but what he did in Madrid is extraordinary.

"For me, he's always going to be remembered as a player who did a lot for this team, for this club. A lot of things have been said, but Gareth never had any issue with anyone in the dressing room, he's a wonderful guy.

"He spoke Spanish, for example, he did not give any interviews, but in the dressing room he would joke a little bit and he talked with us, and everybody was really happy with him really. But for sure, in the last few years, a few things came up and maybe they forgot what he's done for this club. But in a few years' time, he will be remembered as an incredible player, an important player for Real Madrid.

"Everybody has his own behaviour and does things their own way. Gareth was like that, he would not really connect with the rest of us but I'm telling you, it was really good to have him in the changing room and I'm very sorry that everything he's done has been forgotten in the past year."

Bale is set to make his debut for Spurs against West Ham on Sunday, October 18, 2020.
