Real Madrid star Gareth Bale says he "cannot wait" for the new season and is determined to challenge for the Champions League again.

The world's most expensive player lifted the trophy in his first campaign with the Liga giants after scoring in the 4-1 final victory over neighbours Atletico Madrid.

Madrid endured a tough campaign in 2014-15, however, finishing empty-handed while watching Barcelona romp to the treble, and Bale himself came in for some stinging criticism for his 2015 form.

But the Wales forward is determined to challenge for continental supremacy next season under new head coach Rafa Benitez, saying via his official Twitter account: "Had a great summer but can not wait to get back in to the season and challenge for Undecima."

Bale notched 17 goals and 12 assists last season as Madrid finished second to Barcelona in La Liga and were knocked out of the Champions League semi-finals by Juventus.
