Gareth Bale's last dance? Wales' World Cup clash against Ukraine could be the forward's greatest game, but it might also be his final outing... helping his side reach Qatar would mean as much as winning five Champions Leagues with Real Madrid

Gareth Bale goes into Sunday's World Cup play-off knowing it could be his greatest game, or his last. If he takes Wales to their first World Cup finals since 1958 it will mean every bit as much as the five Champions Leagues he won with Real Madrid.

His greatest moment with the Spanish club came in Ukraine in 2018 when he decided the European Cup final with an acrobatic volley against Liverpool. Now, he faces Ukraine and if he can lead Wales to victory it will eclipse even that night in Kyiv.
