@Jackattack That was exactly my thoughts, he was so noticeable not congratulating Gareth, it was embarrassing.Gareth wasn't starting because CR doesn't like the competition.
It made me think we should start a campaign to call it the Gareth Bale Final, just to rub his nose in it.
What really interesting was the post match interviews with Gareth and Zedane. Zadane really didn't want to congratulate Gareth on the goal and his contribution, and down played it totally. Any other manager would have been waxing lyrical.
But I really enjoyed Gareth's interview where he nicely stuck the knife in to the bosses at Real Madrid and very much this is what you aren't going to have next season. It is easy to make the case that Real probably would have had to go to penalties to win the match with out Gareth. Having said that with Liverpools keeper.....
Congrats Gareth and get the right move for yourself next season.
