UCL:This is why I joined Real - Bale

29 April 2014 Updated 22:32 GMT
Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale said
reaching the Champions League final shows
why he chose to swap Tottenham for the
Bernabeu in the summer.
The Welshman, who joined for a record
£85.3m, helped Real beat holders Bayern
Munich 4-0 to seal a 5-0 aggregate win.
"This is why I came to the biggest club in
the world - to win trophies and play in
massive games," Bale told ITV.
"It's a fantastic result for us. We've been
working hard, got our tactics right and
deserved the win."
Leading 1-0 from the home leg, Real went
3-0 up on aggregate through two Sergio
Ramos headers before Bale set up Cristiano
Ronaldo for a third on the break.
A late Ronaldo free-kick rounded off Real's
first victory over Bayern in Munich and
booked their first appearance in the final
since 2002.
"They always leave space on the counter-
attack, which we like because we have
quick players and were able to exploit that,"
added Bale.
"Everybody put in 100% - no matter who it
was they put in a performance."
Real boss Carlo Ancelotti, who coached AC
Milan to the European title in 2003 and 2007,
described his team's performance as
"perfect".
"You dream of a perfect game - the first half
was great for us," he said. "The team has a
great spirit for working for each other.
"Reaching the final after 12 years was a big
target and it makes me proud that I did it
with the team. When I arrived at Real, you
could feel something special in the air, there
was a special atmosphere.
"The performance of the team was fantastic
and we hope we have the same attitude in
the final."
Ramos added: "Today Madrid have gone to
a level that will be recognised across the
world and to score two goals is a dream."
Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge
was scathing about the performance of the
Bundesliga winners and defending European
champions.
"We have witnessed a debacle - we didn't
put enough passion into it," he said. "We
have to keep our nerve and stay rational."
In the final on 24 May in Lisbon, Real will
face either Chelsea or Atletico Madrid, who
are level at 0-0 going into Wednesday's
second leg at Stamford Bridge.
"We still haven't won it yet," said Bale. "We
have a difficult game in the final whoever it
may be, but I'm looking forward to it."
