GARETH BALE is a better athlete than Cristiano Ronaldo, according to ex-Real Madrid doctor Jesus Olmo.
Manchester United star Ronaldo is famed for his physique and even maintains it at the age of 37 but Olmo reckons Bale is the best athlete he has ever seen.
Having been team-mates during Olmo's time at the Bernabeu, Bale and CR7 probably have their own ideas about who keeps in better shape but the Portuguese doc was in no doubt.
The ex-Los Blancos doctor previously told Ideal in 2020: "Perhaps the best athlete I've ever seen is Bale.
"Gareth Bale is a natural athlete who can excel in practically any sport.
"He has incredible athletic skills, and I would also say technical skills.
