Ahead of the Champions League final scheduled for Saturday night, Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale has fired a strong warning to English Premier League side Liverpool.

Real Madrid and Liverpool will lock horns at the Stade de France in their bid to win the prestigious title and reports claim former Tottenham star Gareth Bale is available for the showdown.

The 32-year-old took to Instagram that he is “ready” to take on their opponents.

Recall that the Welshman scored a sensational overhead kick goal after coming on as a substitute to help Madrid beat Liverpool in the Champions League final in 2018, HITC reports.

Although many believe Bale would not be included in the starting line-up for Los Blancos in the encounter, however, anything could happen.

Manager Carlo Ancelotti could throw the player into the game as a second-half substitute depending on the situation of the encounter which many believe will be highly entertaining.

How Bale moved from hero to zero in Spain

According to BBC Sport, criticism has affected his form; since arriving in Spain he rarely connected with Real fans or the media.

A series of injuries further damages his perception at the Santiago Bernabeu and he recovered in time for international duty with Wales and which provoked accusations that playing for his country was his priority.

It went from bad to worse that Spanish outlet Marca described Bale as a "parasite" after he missed the Clasico home loss to Barcelona, supposedly through injury, but promptly went away on international duty to start and score twice for Wales against Austria.

Atletico not interested in Gareth Bale

Meanwhile, Sports Brief earlier reported that Spanish giants Atletico Madrid have rejected a move for Gareth Bale whose future remains unclear as he is set to finally depart Real Madrid.

Not even his rivals are interested in him in what could be another harsh blow to his professional career despite helping Los Blancos to three League titles.

Bale initially joined Real Madrid in 2013, but he has become an outcast in the Spanish capital as his No.11 shirt was even withdrawn and changed to No. 18 instead.
