How many goals has Gareth Bale scored for Wales? Dragons star’s full World Cup, Euro, Nations League and international friendly record

Gareth Bale is the greatest goalscorer in Wales’ history and has been freely scoring since he made his international debut back in 2006.

The winger scored his first international goal in his third game when he netted his team’s only strike in Wales’ 5-1 loss to Slovakia.

Since then, the former Real Madrid star has achieved some impressive feats on the global stage, none of which tops his performances in leading Wales to the semi-final of the Euro 2016, where they lost 2-0 to eventual champions Portugal.

Astonishingly, Bale has never featured at the World Cup yet, with Wales failing to qualify for the 2018 edition in Russia, meaning the 2022 World Cup will be his first ever chance to find the net at the coveted tournament.

How many goals has Bale scored for his national team already, though?

Let’s have a look at the winger’s international record.
