Gareth Bale has said he is convinced that Real Madrid will go on to become the first club since Milan in 1989-90 to retain Europe’s highest club honour and discussed his return from injury in an interview with Nissan.

Bale: "We feel we are capable of beating anyone in any competition"

Champions League: “We haven’t played all our cards yet, we’ve still got a few aces up our sleeve. We’re still going in both competitions so the mood is positive. We’re playing well and we’re improving with time and with games under our belt, which is making us stronger in every match. We always feel we are capable of beating anyone in any competition even though we know it’s not easy. It’s not easy to get to the final of the Champions League and to win it. It’s a tough battle, there have been ups and downs on this journey, but we think we can do it.”

Fitness: “This season has been a bit more difficult, I’ve had an ankle injury. The season started well but then I was out for three months. Now I’m working to get back to my best physically and to recover from that injury. We have to finish the season strongly to try and win the league and the Champions League.”
