Champions League Final 2018: Ryan Giggs warns Liverpool Gareth Bale is ready to wreak havoc in Kiev for Real Madrid

Ryan Giggs has warned Liverpool that Gareth Bale is ready to make the difference in the Champions League final.

Bale is not certain to start for Real Madrid in Saturday's showdown in Kiev, despite scoring five goals in four LaLiga games for the reigning European champions.

But Wales manager Giggs insists the 28-year-old has the right mindset to make a decisive contribution from the bench - if that is the role given to him by Real manager Zinedine Zidane.

"Every time Gareth plays he makes an impact," Giggs said.
