Bale was the hero for Real Madrid in Champions League final

Another hero from the 2018 UEFA Champions League Final, Gareth Bale has no hope of the possibility of playing for his International side in the 2018 World Cup.

Wales failed to qualify despite doing better than Austria, Georgia and Moldova in Group D, but in the end, finished third on the table.

There have been rumours with regards to Bale changing his club side after scoring two spectacular goals in Champions League Final, to get more playing time.

Bale has not been able to emulate his club success for his country. Wales was able to make it to the semi-finals of Euro 2016, but when it comes to Russia, the country, and Bale, will be missing out.
