    Top5 - Number 1: vs Inter

    Now, when people tell me that Bale is, or will be, better than Cristiano Ronaldo I often laugh it off as nothing but Spurs fans kidding themselves. However, looking back at this footage of his hat-trick against Inter in 2010 I am starting to rethink the amount of potential this man really has.

    You can pick any of these goals for his best, but I am going to concentrate on the first - despite the second being almost a carbon copy.

    The way he picks up possession deep inside his own half, squeezes through two opponents, before bursting forward and eating up the space in front of him in a matter of seconds and then lashing the ball past a helpless Julio Cesar between the sticks is truly remarkable.

    It is such a joy when a player is willing to take on a player and use his sheer power and athleticism to leave them eating his dust, and Bale is high up there with CR7 when it comes to doing just that.
