WATCH: Real Madrid star Bale recreates UCL final bicycle kick goal as part of '2.6 Challenge'

In the video, Bale can be seen juggling a small football before hammering an overhead kick into the wall behind him.

Hyderabad: With the London Marathon - originally scheduled for Sunday - postponed due to the coronavirus crisis, sports stars have answered the call to take part in the 2.6 challenge.

Raising money for the charities missing out as a result of the race being off, various big names stepped up to take on doing 2.6 or 26 of anything (a link to the 26 miles in a marathon)

Taking part in the challenge, Gareth Bale performed his 26 kick-ups challenge for Velindre Cancer Centre in South Wales.

In the video, Bale can be seen juggling a small football before hammering an overhead kick into the wall behind him, flinging himself onto his living room sofa.

Bale finished off the feat with an acrobatic bicycle kick reminiscent of his overhead wonder goal against Liverpool in the 2018 Champions League final, where he scored an overhead kick from the edge of the penalty area to give Los Blancos a 2-1 lead in Kiev.

The Welshman added his second goal and Real Madrid's third in the closing stages as Reds goalkeeper Loris Karius fumbled his long-range shot into the net.

Bale's brace proved decisive in a 3-1 win which earned Madrid their third consecutive Champions League trophy.

Meanwhile, Spain's Health Minister Salvador Illa has said that the domestic competition La Liga may not start before summer this year.

There has been no football action in Spain since early March due to the coronavirus pandemic, and the health minister has refused to provide any time frame for the restart of the competition.

"I cannot say if football is going to be able to restart its activity before summer. It would be imprudent of me to offer a definitive view," Spain's health minister Illa said.
