Football: 'I'm going back to Real Madrid' Bale

Gareth Bale plans to return to Real Madrid next season following his season long loan at Tottenham Hotspur. The forward returned to Spurs in September but is has a contract with Madrid until the end of June 2022. "The main reason I obviously came to Spurs this year was, obviously I wanted to play football first and foremost, but going into the Euros I wanted to be match fit so the original plan was only to do a season at Spurs. After the Euros, I still have a year left at Real Madrid and my plan is to go back," said Bale on Tuesday. The Wales captain also expressed his ambitions to lead his country to a World Cup for the first time since 1958.
