Real Madrid star Gareth Bale has spoken about the current lockdown in Spain due to COVID-19 pandemic and reflected on past glories.

Bale has been strongly linked with a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu including a host of English clubs after falling out with manager. Zinedine Zidane on countless occasions.

In an interview with BT Sport during the break halted by the coronavirus pandemic, Bale was asked for his view on the measures taken by the Spanish government to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

"I understand the sacrifices we have to make to make the overall situation better. Here in Spain, the lockdown is very strict. We can't go out for a run or a walk, but we do it for the common good,” he said.

The Welshman was asked which of the Champions League moments was his favorite since he had featured in many high-level games.

“If I had to choose a Champions League match with Real Madrid, it would be the 'Décima’,” he explained about glory in Lisbon. “It was my first time and that feeling of winning like that is unique. Also because of how we won it, it was exciting and special.”

The former Spurs player was asked about the Juventus and Liverpool finals in the Champions League.

"Against Juventus, we won it in my city, in Cardiff, and that was also special. Not every player can win a Champions League at home.

"The last Champions League, the one in Kiev [against Liverpool], had something different for me, especially because of that goal I was able to score.” Forgetting the errors that night from The Reds’ keeper Loris Karius, Bale’s bicycle kick stunner will go down in Champions League final history as one of the greatest.

With the season on hold, Madrid are currently trailing Manchester City 1-2 after the first leg of the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League. Bale reflected on last year’s surprising exit to Ajax and missing out on yet another final.

“We’re normally going right to the end, or at least to the semi-finals,” he said.

“It was a bit strange not being there, of course” he concluded.
