(Adds more Bale quotes) MUNICH, April 29 (Reuters) - Real Madrid's world record signing Gareth Bale looked forward to his first Champions League final after a 4-0 thrashing of holders Bayern Munich on Tuesday and said it was exactly why he wanted to join the Spanish side. The 100 million-euro ($138.17 million) man, who set up Cristiano Ronaldo's record 15th goal of the season in the competition, told ITV television Real got what they deserved. "This is why I wanted to come to the biggest club in the world - to win trophies and to play in massive games," added the 24-year-old former Tottenham Hotspur player. Real, who brushed Bayern aside 5-0 on aggregate, will play either Chelsea, managed by former Real boss Jose Mourinho, or city rivals Atletico Madrid in the May 24 final in Lisbon.
