Real Madrid star Bale basking in his Copa winner

Real Madrid ace Gareth Bale says his Copa del Rey final winner was the "best goal of my life".

Bale is being celebrated in Spain for his effort in victory over Barcelona.

"I scored a similar goal with Wales not long ago. I had to run off the field, trying to dodge Bartra and finally I was able to do it. Fortunately, the goal came at the end of this play. I literally had to get around him, but I was just focused on the ball. He wanted to push to block me, but could not. I was just focused on the ball.

"I feel amazing. It's my first trophy with Madrid and I hope there are more to come. It was great to score a goal, and win the title. I'm happy, but I think we can get even more this season."
