'Many forgot Bale scored in Copa del Rey and Champions League finals'

  

Ancelotti: Bale is important

The former AC Milan boss wants Gareth Bale and slammed those who wanted James and Isco ahead of the Welshman.

Real Madrid's Champions League winning coach Carlo Ancelotti hit back against the media who wrote down the chances of Bale comeback into the starting XI ahead of Isco and James.

The ex-Juventus star has stressed the importance of the number 11 and also reminded them what would have happened if Bale hadn't played in the finals of the two trophies which Madrid had in their cabinet last season.

The report actually came when Ancelotti was said that Isco and James would make the winger on the bench.

Both of them have been in tremendous form which is surely a setback for injured Bale.

However, the Italian reponded in this way:

It seems as many have forgotten what Bale did in the two finals last year. He is equally as important as Isco and James.

Gareth Bale was injured during a training session before the match against Levante. However, the return date is yet to be revealed.
