On This Day Two Years Ago, Gareth Bale Scored The Greatest Goal In Champions League Final History

A right-footed cross from Marcelo was swung in and Bale judged the flight of the ball perfectly, unleashing a stunning overhead kick that rippled Loris Karius' net and left millions watching around the world in complete awe.

Zinedine Zidane and Bale have never really had the most productive of relationships but the Frenchman, who knows a thing or two about scoring worldie volleys in Champions League finals, produced a priceless reaction to Bale's heroics.

The Welshman added a second goal thanks to a Karius gaffe to give Los Blancos their 13th European title and he later said he was angry about not being given the nod for the final.

"Obviously, I felt I deserved to start the game. I'd been scoring goals. So yeah, I suppose it was hard to put the anger aside."

Understandably, Bale couldn't comprehend how he wasn't on the UEFA list.

"I don't know how it wasn't on that list!," he said.

"I want to know who is on the panel because they want to be sacked."
