anything I say will be perceived as being narky here. but sod it.
Bale put in a pretty immense performance but as I was watching through my laptop it seemed that Inter set themselves up on a plate for him, it was an inept defensive display down the flank and he's going to have to learn to overcome far better organised defences than that over the coming months as people start to get to grips with his style.
Saying that he's improved immensely, has bags of talent and has shown he's got the personality to show it on the big stage.
