Gareth Bale has had some of his best moments in a Real Madrid shirt in Europe. With the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, will the mantle of Champions League exploits fall to the Welshman? As Zinedine Zidane and the player repair their fractured relationship, many would expect Bale to impress in Europe, starting from tonight against Paris St Germain.

Bale recently rescued the team last week against Villarreal, bringing the visitors back into contention each time they fell behind. Despite the red card, he saved the team in the absence of the injured Eden Hazard and Marco Asensio. As the team is rebuilding, and pressure to win still high, Zidane will have to rely on the former Spurs man to continue his continental top performances.

Liverpool midfielder James Milner has said that he has complete respect for Lionel Messi despite the Barcelona star calling him a donkey in Spanish during the semi-final stage of the Champions League. The Argentine was not pleased with the regular tracking from the side of Milner in the first leg and it appears that he made the same clear when the teams were going through the tunnel at the break.

Speaking to The Mail, Milner revealed that he has some knowledge of the Spanish language and he heard Messi calling him a donkey, though the word has a different meaning in football. Despite this, the former Manchester City man added that he has only admiration for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner and believes the Argentine has earned the right to say what he wants.

Real Madrid are set to sell Wales forward Gareth Bale in the summer according to media sources in Spain. According to Madrid based paper AS the Los Blancos have informed Bale’s representatives of their decision and told the 29-year old that he does not feature in coach Zinedine Zidane’s plans for next season.

Real Madrid have endured a torrid season with the club failing to reach the semifinals of the Champions League for the first time in eight seasons. Their performances in the league have also been far from impressive sitting third on the table with a few games left in the season.

According to reports from Italy AC Milan are weighing a shock move for Wales Star Gareth Bale. The Real Madrid Superstar has not had the best of seasons with injuries and inconsistencies plaguing his form. The arrival of Vinicius Junior has also seen a reduction in playing time for the 29-year-old as the youngster has impressed with his performances.

Furthermore, there have been accusations from different sources that the pacy attacker has not integrated properly to life in Spain. Bale barely speaks a word in Spanish after 6 years in the club and prefers to spend his time alone than with his teammates. Madrid stopper Thibaut Courtois recently revealed that the player had chosen to miss the team dinner recently due to his reserved nature.

There are media reports that Gareth Bale wants his Wales teammate Aaron Ramsey to join him at Real Madrid. The Arsenal player will be out of contract in the summer and he will be free to speak to foreign clubs as from January. It is believed that Bale wants the Gunners player to join him in Spain as he feels that he has qualities that can help the team.

Arsenal has announced that they will not be offering an improved contract to Aaron Ramsey and that the player will be free to leave the club at the end of the season.
