The Welsh striker and former Real Madrid footballer, Gareth Bale, decided to send all his support to the merengue team in the match they will play this Saturday, June 1, against Borussia Dortmund for the duel corresponding to the UEFA Champions League final that will take place out in the city of London.
These statements were made by the gunner during an interview with the British newspaper ‘The Guardian’, in which he stated that despite being outside the Spanish team he still loves it for the great moments he experienced within its ranks; He also maintained that he sees those led by Carlos Ancelotti as big favorites.
“The Champions League means a lot to the club and the fans. It is the competition that is valued more than the rest. It is the goal of each year. Even when it seems like they are eliminated, they always find a way to come back and win. It’s that aura. It’s as if the other teams are fighting against the shield. It is the ‘momentum’, Real Madrid and the European Cup. The teams are afraid of facing Madrid, and that is very important,” he expressed.
Let us remember that the Welshman was quite criticized by the Madrid fans in his last years within the club due to the sporting decline he experienced due to injuries; Likewise, his commitment to the club was questioned due to his preference to always play with the Welsh team and the passion he had for golf.
Despite this, Bale maintained that these accusations are false and he always seemed completely focused on being able to have the best possible performance on the pitch to support the whites to achieve as many victories as possible.
“I was there a long time. I still look for their results, I still love the team and I still support them. Like when he was little. I 100% hope that Real Madrid lifts the trophy. They understand the pressure and know what to expect, which is a big advantage,” Gareth Bale added in his statement.
