Gareth Bale will seize the chance to remind Premier League fans what he is capable of in the Champions League semi-final against Manchester City, according to former Real Madrid and Liverpool striker Fernando Morientes.Bale looks set for his first competitive start against an English side since leaving Tottenham to join Real Madrid in a world-record £85m deal in 2013, when Los Blancos visit the Etihad for the first leg on Tuesday. The Wales international is yet to score in the Champions League this season but Morientes is confident Bale will show his class over two legs against Manuel Pellegrinis side. This is a very good opportunity for him, the 46-cap Spain international told Sky Sports News HQ. Bale celebrates a goal with Real madrid team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo The problem for Bale is that when teams play against Real Madrid its always slow. They play close to their own goalkeeper and there is not too much space and it is very difficult for him to play like this.But he is one of the best players in La Liga and he has a very good opportunity to play well. I know the Real Madrid supporters have a lot of confidence in him. Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in the Champions League quarter-final, second leg against Wolfsburg Bales team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo is the Champions Leagues all-time leading scorer with 93 goals, including 16 in this years competition, doubling the tally of nearest rivals Thomas Muller, Robert Lewandowski and Luis Suarez.Ronaldo spent six years playing for Citys bitter rivals United, but Morientes does not believe that will give the Portugal international any additional motivation on his return to Manchester.Cristiano is always motivated in each game, said Morientes, a three-time Champions League winner with Real. Morientes (L) is a former team-mate of Real boss Zinedine Zidane He is the best player at Real Madrid. He always wants to win and he always wants to score a goal.Cristiano has a very strong mentality and he would be the same whether he played against Manchester City, Liverpool or even Manchester United. He always has the same mentality which is to score a goal and be the best.The only other meetings between the sides in Europes premier competition came in the 2012/13 group stages, with Manchester City drawing 1-1 at home before losing 3-2 in Madrid two months later.I think Real Madrid will be happy with the semi-final draw, Morientes added. Morientes was top scorer as he helped Monaco to the 2004 Champions League final The team they really wanted to avoid was Atletico Madrid because they have a different style of play but Manchester City have a style like Real Madrid. I think there could be a lot of goals in these two games. Both teams have very good players and I think it will be a very good Champions League semi-final.

Both Toro Rosso drivers were penalised in separate incidents at the Mexican Grand Prix, with Sainz handed a five-second time penalty for forcing Fernando Alonso off-track at the start of the race. Sainz insists he has seen similar incidents go unpunished.Ive seen less [penalties] for more, the Spaniard said. I heard that [in Mexico] there were very similar situations with mine and Fernandos incident and that there were no penalties. This is what Formula One needs to understand, either to look at it incident by incident or to put a fixed rule.Nowadays its difficult to know what will happen to you if you do a certain move that is a tiny bit on the limit. Its a bit of a lottery to get a penalty or not. Us drivers need to race with a very clear thing in mind when we overtake a guy.F1s current judicial system sees three FIA-appointed representatives adjudicating on each grand prix, including an experienced former driver. An additional steward is nominated by the National Sporting Authority of the country holding the race. However the panel is not permanent, something Sainz feels should be changed.Ive said [F1 should have fixed stewards] my whole Formula 1 career. Its understandable -- humans are humans -- you wiill have a different opinion to me, so every race there will be very different opinions.ddddddddddddAt the moment we never know what to expect about a move or after an accident After seeing Fernando on the grass in Mexico do they give me a penalty or do they think it was a great move? [With fixed stewards] probably the criteria will be a lot closer every weekend.Kvyat was also hit with a five-second penalty for being adjudged to have left the track when overtaking Romain Grosjean, and joined his teammate in criticising F1s decision-making process.They are really inconsistent these guys, Kvyat said. Im very unhappy with how they make the decisions to be honest. Theres really no consistency, no anything. Massa and Alonso in Austin, and me and Grosjean here -- a completely different reaction. I disagree with that but I have no influence in this anymore.When asked if he plans to bring up the debate at the drivers briefing in Brazil on Friday, the Russian replied: To be honest I find it a bit boring to talk about this, its a big waste of time. Everybody is talking about it and, what is the result? They still do the same.In those briefings, they talk, talk, talk, I dont want to waste my time for this because they are going to do their own thing anyway. Honestly I dont have a clear clue on how they should do these things. Gravel traps is a good solution, like someone suggested I think. ' ' '
