Zidane: Bale is right for Real

After 20 minutes of attempting to appear neutral, the mention of Gareth Bale ensures Zinedine Zidane gives up the pretence and slips back into his role of Real Madrid’s sporting director.

He has given his opinions on Jose Mourinho, the Champions League final and his own future, but the guard comes down when conversation moves on to the Welshman.

The star of the Premier League season has won every individual award going, but he will not be playing in the Champions League next season – not unless he leaves Tottenham, at any rate. And if Bale does decide to leave White Hart Lane, he would be able to choose from a very select group of clubs.
