Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale has said it’s his dream to lift the Champions League with the club.
Speaking on a Google Hangout with Madridista fans on Thursday night, the 24-year-old revealed he grew up supporting the La Liga giants, and to lift the most prestigious trophy in club football would be a dream fulfilled.
The 91-million-euro man stated: “I’d like to win the Champions League and also play in the World Cup with Wales. This season we’re in a position to fight for the Champions League. It would be a dream come true to play in the final but at the moment I’m just thinking of the semi-finals. Then I’ll look further forward.”
When talking about why he chose to support Real Madrid, he said current assistant boss Zinedine Zidane was his idol. “I have been a Real Madrid fan since I was ten or eleven years old, when I saw them win the ninth European Cup with Zidane’s wonder-goal. I’m really enjoying my time at Real Madrid and I want to continue to do so. I hope to win a lot of titles with this team. I’m playing for the biggest club in the world, who are fighting for every title and who have the best fans. It’s a pleasure to play for Real Madrid.”
Despite an injury-hit start to life in Spain, Bale has enjoyed a productive season, scoring 14 goals and providing just as many assists for his teammates. But when asked to pick out a highlight, he chose his hattrick against Valladolid.
“The hat-trick in the Santiago Bernabéu against Valladolid was amazing. I’ve scored several goals I like, but the one against Elche at home is my favourite and I’ll always remember it,” he stated.
