After rumors of his departure from Real Madrid and the broken relationship with Zinedine Zidane, Gareth Bale returned to play for the 'white' team and was instrumental in the victory against Arsenal in the International Champions Cup.

The Welshman came off the bench in the second half to start the comeback.

Bale scored a goal to reduce the deficit for Madrid, who eventually won the match in a penalty shootout. Although he missed his penalty, Zidane expressed his satisfaction and happiness with the player.

"He played a good game and I'm happy for him. As well as for everyone else. He is with us and we will continue working. We played well with 10 against 11 and even better with 10 against 10. I don't know what will happen. He wanted to play and the other day he didn't, so all is well," said the French coach.

However, Zidane made it clear that the situation of the 30-year-old player remains the same and the club is looking for his exit.

"I haven't spoken to him. He trained normally and that's why he played. Nothing has changed, they know what the situation is," he emphasized.

According to information from Spain, Bale will leave Real Madrid and the most likely option is for the forward to end up in China, although no agreement has been reached yet, so he continues to train normally with the rest of his teammates in the United States. Gareth Bale will leave Real Madrid after six seasons in which he has played 231 matches, scored 102 goals, provided 65 assists, and won 14 titles.
