Gareth Bale was never taken to heart in Madrid after he scored a last minute winner, running from the halfway line, against Barcelona in the Spanish cup final, so it was never going to happen when he wasn't even playing.
Only Cristiano Ronaldo has scored more goals in Champions League finals than Bale, and Bale has scored them all for Real Madrid, but most fans and media, seemed more obsessed in the early days with the fact that he had never given in an interview in Spanish.
Remember all those fabulously long in depth interviews David Silva gave in English while at Manchester City?
