Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has refused to give Gareth Bale assurances over his future after the Wales worldwide was left out from the start in the Champions League final win over Juventus in Cardiff.

The history-making Madrid outfit will receive a payout of £1.5 million per player for winning Saturday's Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Champion's League. That score put Madrid in the driver's seat.

Ronaldo's 20th-minute opener was cancelled out by a stupendous Mario Mandzukic goal, the Croatian chesting down Gonzalo Higuain's volleyed lay-off and arcing a sublime volley over Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas.

Real Madrid dominated the front and back pages of Spanish newspapers on Sunday after they beat Juventus 4-1 to win their 12th European Cup.

The Frenchman, who himself won the Champions League as a legendary player for Real between 2001 and 2006, has enjoyed spectacular success since taking his first role in senior management just 18 months ago. Since then, he has played - and lost - in three finals against AC Milan (in 2003), Barcelona (2015), and Madrid.

The West family has encouraged those who can not attend to donate to the Adam West Memorial Fund for St. And more recently, he did the voice of nutty Mayor Adam West in the long-running " Family Guy " series.

'I am happy, these are good moments'. "I always do my talking on the pitch". "I think we feel that we are an fantastic team".

A player of his calibre would definitely not want to just make cameos and being just 25-years old, he should be playing every game at this point in his career.

"We were considering more at one point, but I've worked tirelessly hard to get back and to get ready for this game". It is a long season but I am motivated.

He headed in the first in 2016 against Atletico and again came to his side's rescue with a cynical challenge on Antoine Griezmann to halt a late counter-attack when the game was poised 1-1, later converting his penalty in the shootout win. I'm also lucky to be part of this club and with this squad.

Madrid completed a sublime double, having won La Liga for the first time since 2012, and the Spanish giants ensured they marked the occasion with joyous scenes raging from Cardiff to the Spanish capital on Saturday night.
