Gareth Bale equals David Beckham’s Real Madrid record vs Espanyol

-

Real Madrid star Gareth Bale this evening moved level with David Beckham for a prestigious Blancos’ record, after appearing for the Spanish champions during their clash with Espanyol.

Matchup

The two clubs went head to head in a La Liga clash at the RCDE Stadium, with hosts Espanyol having come into proceedings sitting in a lowly 15th-place in the Spanish top-flight table.

Real, meanwhile, had recovered from a dismal spell of form of their own of late with 5 straight wins across all competitions, notching a hugely impressive 20 goals in the process.

However, Real’s blistering recent spell came to a grinding halt in Catalunya this evening, as a stout Espanyol performance saw the hosts incredibly grab a winner through Gerard Moreno with the last kick of the game.

Milestone

Although this evening’s result was far from what the European champions had hoped for as a collective, the clash did mark a special occasion for one of Los Blancos’ stars, in the form of Gareth Bale.

As outlined below, Welsh winger Bale moved level with David Beckham on one of the club’s all-time lists, with the former Tottenham man’s next appearance set to etch his name into the storied history books of Real:
