Gareth Bale says he has regained his passion for football again after returning to a club where he is 'loved'.
The Wales captain hopes to guide his country to promotion to Nations League A by helping them avoid defeat against Finland in Cardiff on Wednesday - while a win would virtually secure a place in the World Cup qualification play-offs, should Wales require it.
Bale is poised to win his 87th cap and while he is still regaining match fitness following his loan move back to Tottenham from Real Madrid, but the 31-year-old is smiling again after a difficult end to his time in Spain.
