“My dream became a reality”

Quote

Previously, Gareth Bale told us that his dream was to win Champions League, and he managed to fulfill his dream in the first season with Real Madrid. Aldo, they almost lost in the finals against Atletico Madrid, his teammate Sergio Ramos gave them a chance in extra time by scoring a goal in 93′.

After the 1-1 in regular time, Real Madrid managed to score three more goals in extra time, where the last goal was scored by Gareth Bale after a beautifull run by Di Maria.

He spoke to Sky Sports: “This is what every footballer dreams of, winning the Champions League. It doesn’t come any bigger than that in club football.”

“We’ve played against Atletico four times already this season and every game was very close and very difficult. When they do get a goal ahead it’s hard to break them down. Luckily we managed to get a goal in stoppage time and that gave us the momentum.”

“We’ve been showing that all season. When we play our own football we win football games and it was literally just keep attacking, keep doing what we do best and we all believed in that and we all believed if we kept doing that we’d win.”

“It was an unbelievable feeling, one you can’t describe, and yeah, it’ll be a memory forever and it’ll be great to see it in future years.”

On question was this goal the pay-back for Real Madrid’s investment in his transfer: “For me, the price tag means nothing. If I came here for a penny I would want to play well.”

“This is why I came to the club, to play in big competitions and win trophies like we have this season. Obviously the move has paid off this year and we want to win more now.”

Bale: I can’t believe it

Quote

Gareth Bale gave an interview for The Daily Telegraph about how he feels playing in Champions League first time in his career in the first season at Real Madrid.

“If someone had told me that I would be playing in a Champions League final, I probably wouldnt believe him straight away but that is football.”

“I felt the time was right to leave Tottenham and go to Real Madrid for the exact reasons I am experiencing now. As a player you want to come to the best club in the world and you want to win trophies.”

“I don’t feel I had anything to prove. I always have confidence in my ability and I always try to come through whether it is a good or a bad time. It was great to score the goal in the Copa del Rey.”

“I was a huge Real Madrid fan, the club played with such a swagger, they believed they could win every game. It was just everything about Real Madrid – the team, the stadium, winning trophies, or getting close.”

“They always had players who would get you out of your seat and, as a fan, that’s what you want to see.”

“I always wanted to be here but as soon as I came here I felt comfortable straight away. It obviously took me a some time to get used to everything but I felt comfortable straight away playing football here with the best players in the world.”
