Celtic full-back Adam Matthews admits he would love to see Real Madrid win this season's Champions League title.
The Spanish giants will meet local rivals Atletico Madrid in the Lisbon decider on May 24 and Wales international Matthews is urging his fellow countryman Gareth Bale to fly the flag for football in their nation.
"I'm really hoping Gareth can go on and win the trophy for the first time," said Matthews. "Not just for him, but for Welsh football in general. It would be fantastic for the country.
"Real played really well in the semi-final against Bayern Munich on Tuesday night. They showed how good they are going forward and Gareth is a big part of that. Bayern had most possession but Real were just too quick on the counter attack.
"I haven't asked Gareth for tickets for the final yet, but I think that text message might be on the way to him shortly."
