Expensive Real takes on Sevilla
Print Edition
EUROPEAN champion Real Madrid is expected to field the world’s most expensive strikeforce — including local Welsh hero Gareth Bale — when it plays Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup at Cardiff City Stadium today.
Three months after winning the Champions League, Real and Europa League winner Sevilla meet in an all-Spanish Super Cup match with Bale playing in his home city.
He joined Real for a world record 85 million pounds (US$142.58 million) from Tottenham a year ago and is expected to play in a 240-million pounds trio with Cristiano Ronaldo and James Rodriguez as the Madrid side seeks to win the Super Cup for the first time since 2002.
Ronaldo signed for 80 million pounds from Manchester United in 2009 while Colombian Rodriguez, the Golden Boot winner at this year’s World Cup, cost about 80 million euros (US$107.27 million) when he joined from AS Monaco after the finals.
