BALE SNUBBED FOR UEFA GOAL OF THE SEASON

GARETH BALE’S overhead kick in the Champions League final has been overlooked in UEFA’S goal of the season poll. The Welshman scored with a brilliant acrobatic effort as Real Madrid beat Liverpool in Kiev. Despite the sensational nature of the strike, it is another overhead kick, by Cristiano Ronaldo — in Real Madrid’s 3-0 win over Juventus — which was nominated for the 2017-18 vote.
