SOCCER NEWS - Midfielder Gareth Bale is enjoying life at Spanish champions Real Madrid and has committed his future to the club, the Welsh international said after the side's Champions League triumph on Saturday.
Bale, who joined Madrid in 2013, has scored 67 goals in 146 appearances and signed a contract extension in October to keep him at the club until 2022 but his future in Spain has been cast in doubt following a frustrating injury-riddled campaign.
"We are winning trophies and I am happy. I have signed a long-term contract at Madrid," Bale is quoted as saying by the BBC after Madrid beat Juventus 4-1 in the final in Cardiff.
"My family is happy and I am happy, so yes we will continue what we are doing."
Madrid's third Champions League triumph in four years marked Bale's seventh trophy at the club but the 27-year-old remains hungry for more success.
