Bale has now won four Champions League winner's medals in five seasons since moving to Madrid. And his wonder strike brought back memories of Zidane's own magnificent volleyed winner to win Madrid the Champions League against Bayer Leverkusen at Hampden Park in 2002. Bale started just one of Real's seven knockout matches in the Champions League. For the first time since a stunning solo run and finish to win the Copa del Rey in his debut Real season, Bale scored in an El Clasico against Barcelona earlier this month. When Bale was signed many saw him as the future king at the Bernabeu once Ronaldo's powers began to wane.
