Gareth Bale Bust Commissioned by Paddy Power Ahead of Real Madrid v Juventus Game

Ireland bookmaker Paddy Power has commissioned a sculpture of Gareth Bale. The man behind said sculpture had previously created one of football sensation Cristiano Ronaldo.

Sculpture Emanuel Santos helped to unveil his bust outside Paddy’s Cardiff office on St Mary's Street ahead of Saturday's UEFA Champions League final between Real Madrid and Juventus.

Bale is a Welsh professional footballer who plays as a winger for Spanish club Real Madrid.

The Ronaldo statue hit the headlines in March after its unveiling at the Madeira Airport bearing the Portuguese star's name.
