Gareth Bale could make the Champions League final against Liverpool his final appearance for Real Madrid - but he must return to full fitness before next Saturday.
The 32-year-old was absent from Los Blancos' final game of the domestic season, a 0-0 draw with Real Betis, and is all but confirmed to finally be leaving the Santiago Bernabeu after nine years when his lucrative contract expires next month. Post-match, Carlo Ancelotti revealed why Bale was omitted from the squad and hinted at his chances of featuring against Jurgen Klopp 's side.
"He wasn't on the bench tonight because he wasn't fit," Ancelotti explained following Friday's LaLiga fixture. "He wanted to say farewell to the fans here at the stadium. He's got one last chance because he'll be fit for the final."
