Bale departs as Wales’s all-time leading goalscorer with 41 goals and his country’s most capped men’s player with 111 appearances. The announcement comes weeks after Bale captained Wales at the Qatar World Cup, the first finals Wales had qualified for since 1958. 

Bale also enjoyed incredible club success, winning five UEFA Champions League titles with Real Madrid. He played in the Premier League with Southampton, then with Tottenham, including a season towards the end of his career. He retires after a year in MLS with Los Angeles FC.
