Champions League final: 11 British heroes from previous editions, including Bale, McManaman and May

Bale has won the Champions League twice with Real Madrid already and he played a decisive role in his first in 2014. His goal in the 4-1 win against rivals Atletico put his side ahead in extra-time before Marcelo and Cristiano Ronaldo completed the rout and secured a tenth win overall for Real. He had missed earlier chances to score, but headed in at a crucial moment and Bale’s goal came just a month after he had won Real the Copa del Rey thanks to his virtuoso effort against Barcelona.

Bertrand made his European Chelsea debut in the 2012 Champions League final.
