Being asked about UEFA Best Goals of the 2017/18 season pick, Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale begrudged officials' decision to not include his stunner against Liverpool into the nominees list. UEFA technical observers set up the top11 goals while Uefa.com users voted for the best one: expectedly Cristiano Ronaldo's famous bicicleta against Juventus won. Bale, who also scored bicycle goal, but with an even more principal game, wasn’t happy:
- Real Madrid defeated Liverpool 3:1 in Champions League final, Gareth Bale had a storming game and scored a brace, including the winning goal
- In 2014 Bale also scored a winning goal in Champions League final against Atletico Madrid
