The Brazilian played in one of the greatest Madrid teams of all time which included the likes of Luka Modric, Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Luka Modric, Sergio Ramos and Toni Kroos.
Despite playing with so many world-class talents, the Manchester United midfielder has revealed that Bale was the most complete player he played alongside as he helped in all areas of the pitch.
He spoke on The Rio Ferdinand Presents YouTube Channel as he praised the 36-year-old, who announced his retirement in 2023, just weeks after captaining Wales at the World Cup.
"Cristiano scores, Cristiano has 15 goals. Minimum 15 goals. But Bale attacks, defends, heads, scores, fouls. Cristiano is the best. Cristiano is the best. Cristiano is another one. Cristiano gives the... Take Cristiano off the conversation. But for me, Bale is the best, more complete.
"Because he attacks, he defends, he scores the head, foul. Everything, he does very good, very quick. Too strong. And for me, Bale is an unbelievable player. Unbelievable player."
Bale went on to make 258 appearances for Madrid, scoring 106 goals, winning three LaLiga titles and helping Los Blancos win the Champions League five times.
Casemiro’s praise may shock many Madrid fans as he reveals that Ronaldo wasn’t perfect during his time in Spain. Bale left Madrid to join LAFC before calling time on his career due to injuries that held him back in the final stretch of his career.
