Real Madrid's two goal Gareth Bale has opened the door to a Premier League return after their Champions League final victory.

The Welshman, who was left on the bench for the second European final in a row, came on after the break handing Zinedine Zidane's side the lead with one of the best goals in the competitions history, before adding a second himself profiting from a Loris Karius mistake.

The former Tottenham and Southampton player has been repeatedly linked with a return to the Premier League, where Manchester United and Chelsea are keen.

“Obviously I need to be playing, I need to be playing week in week out and that hasn't happened this season for one reason or another," Bale told BT Sport when asked about a return to England.

“I had about a five or six week injury at the start of the season and I've been fit ever since.

“Obviously now I have to sit down in the summer and discuss it with my agent and take it from there.

“Disappointed not to start the game, thought I deserved it but the manager makes those decisions."
