Tottenham winger Gareth Bale is proud to be named in UEFA's Team of the Year.

Bale was on Wednesday named in UEFA.com users' team of the year, which was voted for by around 380,000 visitors to the governing body's website.

Wales international Bale said on tottenhamhotspur.com: "It's great to be recognised in such illustrious company, and the fact that it's voted for by fans across Europe makes it a special honour.

"But as I've said all along, I'm part of a team here at Spurs and any recognition I receive is down to my team-mates as much as anything that I do individually.

"The team has been playing really well and we've all played a part in that."
