That's why he is worth the money btw. Right place at the right time and pretty priceless from Real's point of view.

Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.
How ridiculous football often is.
There's your £80m or whatever he cost. Bale's just immortalised himself in Real Madrid lore.
And he's been absolutely shite all game.
And he's been absolutely shite all game.
Had to be him. Absolutely brilliant by Di Maria.
bale is going to be the only news on sky, itv, bbc until the opening ceremony in brazil
Cool as a fecking cucumber.
I fecking hate that club.
Bet Wenger is still interested in Di Maria
Looking like money well spent now for all those that were questioning his worth in this thread. Ronaldo mustn't have been fully fit though.....
Poor defending by Atletico... I think they're wasted on that one.
What a run by Di Maria, superb player. Bale at the right place in the right moment. I like him so I'm happy for him but didn't want Real to win it.
Brilliant run by Di Maria for that goal
Ahhh poor Atletico, tough one to take but they just look knackered now, hope they can get an equaliser but surely that's got to be it.
What a lovely piece of skill by Di Maria to set up the goal.
Di maria, who commands nowhere near that fee, has shown that the above statement is correct. Bale is a 30 million player at best.
He'll win the FIFA award just from that goal. Blah.
What an assist from Di Maria, danced through
The emotions that Bale elicits from so many posters on this board, cracks me up even more when he does something like that 
Sort of. He'll be worth it to the Madrid fans,and he'll be rememebered as the scorer if it stays this way.
Ronaldo must be fuming mad it's not him who scored what looks like the winner
That's a Fifa goal.
Still love Roy Keane. Di Maria, wow. Bale fair play being in the right place to rob the plaudits though. Ronaldo the third wheel
Wouldn't say Atletico have bottled it but they've definetly blown this. Should've played their own game instead of feck about in the middle of the park.
All attention will be on Bale, but what a run by Di Maria.
Di Maria Real's best player
I'm happy for the lad, but I'm dreading the UK press love in.
Atletico completely ran out of steam after about 80 minutes. This has been coming for quite a while.
God that attempted knee slide by Bale has to have ripped most the skin off his knee
Di Maria is a beast really. Overall he's been their best player this season.
Coverage will be sycophantic now. Di Maria deserves a lot of credit for tonight.
I know, bloody stupid. Just comment on the game. Idiot Townsend.
It's really a brilliant goal.
Am very happy for Gareth Bale.
Chance!!!
Casillas poor again.
Casillas poor again.
Fantastic finish from Bale...that's a brilliant header in the 110th minute of a CL final.
Townsend is hard right now.
di maria man of the match, he's been brilliant. ancelotti's decision to sell ozil instead of him prove to be the right one here.
Arghh tiago
That was the chance.
How has Casillas not learned his lesson?
Had a chance there
