Gareth Bale will feature as a pundit for TNT Sports during Tottenham’s Europa League final clash against Manchester United in Bilbao. The Welsh icon, who helped Spurs lift the League Cup in 2008, retired from football in 2023 following the winter World Cup.
Since then, Bale has pursued golf, modelling, and occasional punditry work, primarily with TNT Sports. Bale spent nine years in Spain with Real Madrid after a then-world-record £85 million move from Spurs in 2013. During his time in Madrid, he won five Champions League titles and three La Liga titles, despite facing criticism over his attitude.
Tottenham are seeking their first major trophy since 2008, having lost their previous European final to Liverpool in 2019 and the League Cup final to Manchester City in 2021. Meanwhile, United won the Europa League in 2017 but lost the 2021 final on penalties to Villarreal. Both clubs have had poor domestic form, with managers Ange Postecoglou and Ruben Amorim under pressure.
