Former Real Madrid coach John Toshack believes Gareth Bale is capable of winning the Ballon d'Or.
Bale helped Real defeat Sevilla in Cardiff last night to win the European Super Cup.
Toshack told AS: "Well, he's only 25 and he has the capability to win the Ballon d'Or. Moving to Madrid was good for him in that respect, because his exposure will be much greater than anywhere else.
"Then he has to manage the injuries. That is Cristiano and Messi's secret; They have never had serious injuries. But yes, Bale has all the attributes to follow in the footsteps of Messi and Cristiano."
