Tottenham's Gareth Bale has Inter Milan goals animated - VIDEO
The way Gareth Bale terrorised Maicon in Tottenham's two epic Champions League encounters with Inter Milan earlier this season, the Brazilian could be forgiven he was up against a cartoon superhero. But that is what Bale has now become, thanks to animator Richard Swarbrick, who has produced a two-minute hand-drawn film in homage to the Wales winger's heroics. Bale netted a brilliant hat-trick in a losing cause when Spurs were edged out in an extraordinary 4-3 defeat in the San Siro in September, and two weeks later inspired a 3-1 win that will live long in the memory of the White Hart Lane faithful. Can you guess who it is yet? Tottenham's Inter destroyer BaleThe 21-year-old left Maicon, widely considered the finest right-back in the game, trailing in his wake as he flew down the left wing to set up two of Tottenham's goals that night. Swarbrick's masterpiece was created by hand, is set to classical music and commentary from the games, and took 35 hours to complete. Bale's remarkable season in the Champions League has since reached new heights with Spurs' progress past AC Milan, Inter's city rivals, and into the quarter-finals of the competition. Back of the net: A still shot of one of Bale's goals in the San SiroThe midfielder was only able to feature as a second-half substitute during Wednesday's famous 0-0 second-leg draw with the Rossoneri due to his recovery from a back problem, but should be fit for the next stage. And if Bale can somehow inspire Tottenham to the final at Wembley in May, Swarbrick may soon be picking up the pencils again. But Bale is already guaranteed a place in Spurs' folklore whatever the result of their quarter-final - win, lose or draw. VIDEO: Bale terrorises Inter, as drawn by Richard Swarbrick Harrylujah!
