Spurs fans on Twitter have been reacting to a post from former winger Gareth Bale, after he shared his goal against Liverpool in the 2018 Champions League final.
The Welsh international shared a video of his superb overhead-kick goal in the Champions League final from two seasons ago when Real Madrid secured the trophy with a 3-1 win against Jurgen Klopp’s side. Spurs fans have subsequently flooded the 30-year-old’s replies, with some Lilywhites supporters urging him to return to North London.
Gareth you’ve won every trophy going time to come home to a place where you won’t win any

Most undervalued goal of all time. Bale

Spurs signed the winger from Southampton in 2007 and he went on to make 203 appearances for the Lilywhites, contributing 56 goals and 58 assists (per Transfermarkt) before completing a world-record move to Real Madrid in 2013.
Please come home xo

This fan made reference to Bale’s relationship with the Madridistas, with the Welshman perhaps risking criticism from supporters following the banner he unveiled after Wales’ qualification for Euro 2020 last November.
Wow !!! This goal would have been harder to execute than Zidane’s goal in Glasgow. Gareth sir you are so under-rated at Madrid – Why? Because you have a mind of your own! Please Madridistas give one of the GOAT a break!

These Spurs fans were quick to praise Bale’s goal from the Champions League final and we’re sure that a lot of Lilywhites supporters would love to see him back at the club one day.
Do you think Bale will ever return to Spurs?
Yes
No
The winger has struggled with injuries in recent seasons, meaning he has made just 14 appearances in La Liga so far this season, but it is hard to see him returning to Spurs considering his reported wages.
