One of world football's best-ever midfielder, Luis Figo, has joined the growing chorus of Gareth Bale admirers.

The 37-year old former Portugal international, now a director at Inter Milan, was full of admiration for the 21-year old Welshman after he set up the third goal in Spurs' Champions League 3-1 win at White Hart Lane.

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp revealed that Figo came to him after the goal with plenty of kind words about Bale.

"He said to me, 'Bale is just amazing, amazing'," Redknapp said.

"When Figo says that, it's got to be good, because he was such a fantastic footballer.

"He said, 'He killed us twice'."
