The world’s most expensive player has come under fire for some sub-standard performances this season, and even more so last night as he wasted a number of chances in Real’s UEFA Champions League exit to Juventus.
There have been some reports that Los Meringues could cut their losses and sell the player in the summer, though that has so far been denied by the club’s bosses.
Still, Bale admits that it’s been a trying campaign.
"I haven't scored as many important chances as I would like this season," Bale told Sky Sports. "I feel my general play has been good, but my finishing has been a bit rusty this year and it's something to work on for next year.
"I was unlucky not to score one versus Juventus. As long as I keep trying usually one goes in, but unfortunately one didn't now.”
Bale added: "There have been some ups and downs this season, but I feel I've played well in general.
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I'll learn from this season a lot, take it into next season and have a good season."
