The Welsh ace made the most out of two defensive mistakes by Kashima's defense to pave the way for a new Real Madrid win in this tournament.

Gareth Bale knew he could make history with Real Madrid in the FIFA Club World Cup, and he did not disappoint Los Blancos' supporters with a scintillating performance in the tournament's semi-finals against Kashima Antlers.

The Japanese side tried their best to shock Los Blancos, but Bale made the most out of two errors by Kashima's defenders to shape Real Madrid's first win in the 2018 edition of this tournament, where the Spanish giants are expecting to become the most-winning team in history.

In fact, Bale reached a couple of milestones with his hat-trick today, joining names such as Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez and former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo in the tournament's record books.

Something tells us that the final match of this competition will give Bale a chance to re-write the competition's all-time milestones.

Last, but not least, Real Madrid's ace has written his name right next to those who are believed to be the best ever for a particular reason.
