Bale: We’ve made history and will enjoy the moment

The Welsh star came on as a substitute in the Champions League final in his home country and was left with a "great feeling" following the win

Gareth Bale says he and his Real Madrid team-mates will “enjoy” having made history after a 4-1 win over Juventus in the Champions League final.

The La Liga champions struck first through Cristiano Ronaldo, only to be pegged back before the interval by a brilliant goal Mario Mandzukic.

However, Madrid put on an incredible display of dominance in the second half, scoring three times to leave Cardiff with the Champions League trophy, becoming the first team to retain their crown since the modern tournament era began in 1992-93.
