Gareth Bale - the brightest star of Euro 2016
Don't talk about Cristiano Ronaldo or Zlatan Ibrahimovic, because Gareth Bale is number 1. Euro 2016 is turning into a tournament to honor the Welsh superstar.
On the day fans were waiting for coach Chris Coleman's golden boys to speak, they shouted loudly. And Bale played a central role in that glorious achievement. In the first two matches, Bale scored from skillful free kicks. And last night, he was still the one who helped the "dragons" destroy the Russian team with a score of 3-0 to maintain the top position in Group B, excellently advancing to the next round.
Of the three goals that tore through the Russian "bear", the 26-year-old star made an assist and personally sealed the 3-0 score. Thus, Bale is leading the list of top scorers at Euro 2016 with 3 goals.

Gareth Bale is becoming the inspiration to turn Wales into a "dark horse". |
The achievement overshadowed a Ronaldo who was once compared to someone from another planet and an arrogant Ibrahimovic with the famous saying: "What meaning would major tournaments have without me?"
From Toulouse, Bale silenced everyone. And he was the name that made the strongest impression at Euro 2016 over the past 10 days. He became the soul in the home team's attacks.
When needed, Bale plays the role of a very good playmaker. The Real Madrid striker also knows how to overcome pressure to lead his team up with his star quality.
A week ago, people feared Bale's Wales would collapse after losing to England. But that did not happen. As the Daily Mail commented, Wales is really a collection of many values.
They have a great star to lead and unite as a unit. Wales are indeed formidable. When all hearts are united and selfishness is put aside, they are stronger.

Wales played very impressively at Euro 2016 this time. |
As for Gareth Bale, he deserves to be honored as the brightest star of the Euro 2016 group stage. Not only Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic, other outstanding names such as Paul Pogba, Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Müller or David Alaba were all left in the dust by Bale.
In the evening at Stadium Munipal, the Welsh fans sang: "Don't take me home, please don't take me home". The meaning goes without saying. The Welsh want their team to continue playing at Euro 2016.
Wales need not dream of that. They should be singing: "Shine on Bale". Indeed, the "Dragons" are being inspired by the talented Gareth Bale, who has made the tournament a celebration of his individuality.
