Carlo Ancelotti says Gareth Bale will be fit for the Champions League final in Paris and insists the Welshman "wanted to say farewell" to the club's fans before his upcoming departure.
Bale was left out of the matchday squad for his side's final league game of the season on Friday night, which saw Real draw 0-0 at with Betis at the Bernabeu. Bale was nowhere to be seen, with Ancelotti saying the 32-year-old's absence was due to a lack of match fitness.
In contrast, Madrid star Marcelo was afforded a hero's send-off on what was his final domestic appearance for the club, with the Brazilian given a standing ovation when he entered the pitch in the second half.
