In my opinion, I think a major reason why Bale's form has deteriorated recently has been due to complacency. He seems to be off his game recently. The Bale I used to know was a player whose vibrance and zeal to up his game was envied by his counterparts. Its really obvious he has grown complacent due to the exit of Ronaldo. He felt there was no other person to compete with him. But it's obvious he was wrong.
