Tottenham's Gareth Bale is adamant he is not yet one of football's superstars - unlike forthcoming Champions League quarter-final opponent Cristiano Ronaldo
While Bale has grabbed headlines this season with his all-action goalscoring displays in both the Premier League and in Europe, the left-sided Welshman insists that he is far from the finished article and can still improve in every area of his game - something he will have to do before he can be put in the same class as the Portuguese forward.
"I'm still young, still learning - but if you look at the likes of Messi and Ronaldo, then those are the levels that you have to aspire to," Bale said. "It's very nice if people have said nice things about me, but to be honest I try to ignore it.
"If you tell me I'm a superstar, I certainly don't think of myself in that way, to be honest.
"I'm more concerned about what is still to come, and I believe there is a lot more. I know I have a lot to learn, so it is a case of working hard in training and in games.
