Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti insists he still rates highly Gareth Bale.
The Wales star has been linked with a £90 million move to Manchester United this past week.
Those reports came after claims that Ancelotti no longer sees the former Tottenham star as a first-team player, and that the ex-Chelsea manager would stick with Isco once Bale returns from injury.
But he said: "It seems like many have forgotten that Gareth Bale scored in the Copa del Rey and Champions League finals.
"He is equally important as James Rodriguez and Isco."
