In a video posted to Twitter, former Real Madrid star Gareth Bale shared his predictions for the UCL final result, as well as who he thinks will get player of the match. The now-retired Welsh international did not hold back.

It's no secret that going into the Champions League final, Inter Milan look like the underdogs. City have dominated, losing just one of their last 27 matches across all competitions, and a win tonight would secure them a historic treble.

Many pundits have expressed their predictions for Saturday's final, like ex-Liverpool star Jamie Carragher unashamedly admitting he's rooting for the little guys, but no predictions have been quite so brutal as Gareth Bale's.

In a video posted to Twitter by UEFA Champions League, the former Madrid star held up his sign, predicting an absolute shutout, with his guess seeing Man City demolish Inter 5-0. 

He followed it up revealing his prediction for Man of the Match going to City's Kevin De Bruyne, who so far in the Champions League this year has put away two goals and provided five assists.

Fans were divided, with some agreeing that City would batter Inter, whilst others were optimistic that the Italians would put up a good fight. The match kicks off at 19:00 GMT (21:00 CET) and the winner will be established then.
