GARETH BALE opened the door for a Premier League return after lighting up the Champions League final in Kiev.
The 28-year-old Welshman admitted he could leave Real Madrid in order to get first-team football.
And his words would have alerted Premier League clubs with Bale willing to leave the Spanish capital.
Bale was dropped from the starting line-up but scored twice off the bench in a 3-1 win over Liverpool.

He said: "I need to be playing week in, week out and that hasn't been happening for one reason or the other.
"I have to sit down and discuss with my agent in the summer and take it from there.
"I was very disappointed not to start the game - I felt like i deserved it.
"The best I could do is come on and make an impact and that's what I did."
Liverpool legend and BT Sport pundit Steven Gerrard said Bale has given an open indication that he's on his way out of Madrid.

Gerrard said: "That's the first sign I've seen that he's said "Come and get me, quick". Normally he says "I'm happy in Madrid".
Bale admitted his first goal of the night, a stunning overhead kick to put Real Madrid back ahead, was probably his best ever.
He said: "It has to be. The Champions League final - there's no bigger stage.
"It's a team game. I had to make an impact and did that.
"We know what we've achieved and how good we've been."
