SOCCER

Following Real Madrid's exit from the Champions league Gareth Bale says he will get over a tough season.

A 1-1 draw at home to Juventus last night means they crashed out 3-2 on aggregate.

Bale's been jeered by fans at times this season - and he told Sky Sports News, he'll get over a difficult second season in Madrid.

Later tonight, the Europa League finalist will also be decided.

Sevilla appear to be on-course for a place in the final as they will travel to Fiorentina with a 3-0 first-leg lead.

But it's delicately balanced in the other semi-final, which is tied 1-all between Dnipro and Napoli going into tonight's contest in Ukraine.

Both matches will kick-off at 8:05pm.
