Real Madrid's Gareth Bale needs not to play into the hands of the Juventus defenders in the Champions League semi-final.

That is the opinion of Manchester United legend Paul Scholes who has implored the Wales international to get at the Bianconeri full-backs as Real chase a 2-1 deficit in the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday night.

"We just want to see him more positive. We know the talent he's got," he said of Bale on ITV.

"The pace and power he possesses. Last week his confidence looked low. He kept whipping the ball in.

"It was easy for the Italian defenders. If he's like that tomorrow, they will love that.

"They'll eat that up all day long.

"I'd like to see him more positive. Take his man on. Shots on goal."
