Giggs: Bale best of the rest behind Messi and Ronaldo

The Wales boss, who has already urged his nation's talisman to remain at Real Madrid, claims the star forward could play for anyone

Gareth Bale remains “the best of the rest” behind Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, says Ryan Giggs, with the Real Madrid star capable of representing “any team in the world”.

The 28-year-old forward has endured another testing campaign at club level, with the fitness issues which have plagued him in recent times once again restricting his outings for Real.

He has, however, managed 12 goals in 29 appearances, while a hat-trick in a recent international clash with China has seen him becomes Wales’ all-time leading goalscorer.
