Gareth Bale has had a polarising career at Real Madrid. It has been long speculated that his time at the club will be over at the end of this season. Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed this in a press conference.
“Everyone knows that Gareth Bale contract is ending and that he says goodbye to Real Madrid this year,” said Ancelotti.
“Whether he plays tomorrow or not, it’s not that important, the important thing is that Bale has been part of the history of this club. He will remain in the memories of all Real Madrid fans.
“He was very important to the Decima (when Real Madrid won their 10th Champions League), in the 2018 Champions League final in Kiev, in the Copa del Rey final (in 2014).
“He has written some great chapters for this club. It is important that everyone recognizes that.”
The Italian manager further spoke about the Champions League finals and Mbappe’s future.
“Liverpool have had more difficulties than us, they are preparing very important matches,” Ancelotti said. “But we are not just thinking about the final, we will think about just the final from Monday.”
“No (when asked whether fans are talking to him about Mbappe in the street), because I don’t go in the street. I spend my time at the training ground, in the car or at home.
“Sometimes in Madrid’s good restaurants, but they don’t ask me there. They ask me about the Champions League final.”
