When he chested down a pass from Gareth Bale and knocked the ball into the net against Turkey, one thing was clear — Aaron Ramsey was back.

After two seasons plagued by injuries at Juventus, Wales seems to be getting the best from the 30-year-old midfielder at the European Championship.

He was at the center of the action in the 2-0 win over Turkey on Wednesday, combining well with Bale to find scoring chances in attack and charging back down the field in the 80th minute to deny Turkey substitute Mert Müldür with a last-ditch tackle.

“It’s been there for many years. We’ve done it for a while now,” Bale said of his connection with Ramsey. “Obviously we always play for the shirt, we work hard as a team and it was great for him to get the first goal, get us off to a great start, and hopefully we can keep playing well together for the rest of the tournament.”
