Gareth Bale makes Liverpool fans shudder with blunt Champions League declaration

Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale has warned Liverpool he is "ready" to make his mark in the Champions League final.

The Wales international, 32, produced a man-of-the-match performance with two goals as Los Blancos defeated the Reds 3-1 in the 2018 showpiece in Kyiv. His first was a sublime overhead kick to restore Real Madrid's lead shortly after the hour mark and his second was a long-range effort which Loris Karius spilled into his own net.

The thought of the Bale-inflicted defeat four years ago makes Liverpool fans shudder to this day - even if they made amends by beating Tottenham in the final the following year - and the former Spurs winger has declared he is primed to inflict more woe on his former Premier League rivals.
