Real Madrid star Gareth Bale is desperate to get his hands on a second Champions League winners’ medal this weekend.

The Welshman is expected to start Saturday’s clash against Atletico Madrid as Zinedine Zidane’s side aim for an eleventh European Cup victory.

The 26-year-old has four honours to his name since completing a world record transfer to the Bernabeu in 2013 and he’s desperate to make it five at the San Siro on Saturday.

The former Spurs man is so desperate, in fact, that he’d sacrifice his ponytail if it meant a victory against Diego Simeone’s side this weekend.




He is, however, hoping it doesn’t come to that!

‘For the Champions League? Maybe, but all I have to do is win it!’ replied Bale when asked if he’d give up his hair for the trophy.’
