"“As I said, I’m happy in Liverpool. But you never know what will happen in the future. I want to win trophies, especially the Champions League.”"
Sadio Mane scored the equalizer in the Champions League final in Kiev. But ended on the losing end as Bale scored twice to hand a 3-1 victory for the Los Blancos.
In the following interview, he insisted that the defeat is behind him and looks forward for the World Cup.
"“We lost to the best team in the world. The defeat is but ticked off. Now it is time to play with Senegal a good and successful World Cup. That’s my whole focus.”"
