9 games 9 goals. Gareth Bale

Gareth Bale is Real Madrid’s new talisman. The Welshman has scored nine goals in his last games for Real Madrid and he has scored those goals with just 23 shots at goal. Every 2.5 shots, he has beaten the goalkeeper and that average of a goal a game is close to the Cristiano Ronaldo’s 1.02 per games during his time at the club. In those nine games, which include a double in the Champions League final, he is hitting a goal at a much better rate than recently-departed Ronaldo, who needed a goal every 4.7 shots to Bale’s 2.5.
