Gareth Bale revels in Welsh success

Gareth Bale says Wales’ march to the semi-finals of Euro 2016 has ended the years of “abuse” he has had to endure from club team-mates.

Real Madrid forward Bale is usually on his summer holidays when major tournaments are held, but not this time with Wales playing Portugal tomorrow night for a place in the final of Euro 2016.

And Bale admits he hopes if Wales do get through then it is Germany, and not their last-four opponents France, who are waiting for them in the Paris final on Sunday.
