Real Madrid's Gareth Bale scores an acrobatic goal v Liverpool in the Champions League final at Kiev on Saturday

Gareth Bale won the Champions League for Real Madrid and then warned them: "Play me or lose me." Wales forward Bale came off the bench to score twice in Real's 3-1 win over Liverpool in the final in Kiev, the first a stunning bicycle kick barely two minutes after coming on. Given the chance to reflect on his heroics in an interview with BT Sport, Bale's first thought was: "I was very disappointed not to start the game. I felt I deserved it but the manager makes the decisions. what can you do? The best I've been doing is to come on and make an impact, and I did."
