Ahead of the semi-final clash between Real Madrid teammates- Ronaldo and Bale, Argentina Legend, Diego Maradona believes the Welshman has contributed to the success of his team, Wales, than the Portuguese has.

Both players will go head-to-head when Portugal and Wales clash in the first semi-final match of the competition in Lyon on Wednesday.

Maradona wrote in his column on Times India;

“This will also be a clash between the left and right flanks of Real Madrid. It’s a team game, where you do look up to individuals like Ronaldo and Bale, if you have them. Ball control, speed and shooting make them special. Their contributions will always be crucial because they can create that decisive moment. So far, Bale has contributed more to his team’s progress than Portugal have got from Ronaldo.”

Gareth Bale already has three goals in the competition while Portuguese captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, has netted two goals- both against Hungary.
