After coming off the bench to steal the show in Kiev, former Tottenham star, Gareth Bale gave the clearest indication that his future is away from the Bernabeu after the Champions League final.
The Welsh star has been in-demand since Zinedine Zidane took over at the Bernabeu three years ago as the French man has continued to prefer Isco to Bale. Bale failed to show up for the warmup prior to the Champions League final after he was dropped from the lineup, but he entered the match with the game all-square and turned it around with two goals, the first of which is arguably the best goal ever scored in a Champions League final.
When asked about his future after the game by a BT Sports journalist, Bale admitted:
“I need to be playing week in, week out and that hasn’t been happening for one reason or the other.
“I have to sit down and discuss with my agent in the summer and take it from there.
“I was very disappointed not to start the game – I felt like i deserved it.
“The best I could do is come on and make an impact and that’s what I did.”
This was the first time that Bale has refused to commit his future to Real Madrid publicly and could spark a transfer battle between, Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham.
