Wales manager Ryan Giggs believes his star player can be the difference in the Champions League final on Saturday.

Real Madrid attacker Gareth Bale is not guaranteed a start in Kiev, but Giggs has advised Zidane to select the 28-year-old if he wants someone to create something special against Liverpool.

Giggs wrote in his Class of 92' column for Sky Sports: "Every time he is involved, he makes a difference. He can do special things and has scored a lot of goals. He is someone who is very hard to defend against as he can score all types of goals.

"Of course Real have a lot of good players but, from my point of view, Bale would always be in my starting team."
