Tottenham Hotspur winger Gareth Bale, has reiterated his desire to play in the Champions League.
The Welsh winger, is the subject of serious interest from Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain this summer, after Spurs lost out to rivals Arsenal, for a place in Europe’s elite competition.
In an interview with Esquire, the 23-year-old explained why he is itching to play in the club competition.
“When you play in the Premier League, say you’re playing against a lower-end team, they set up to defend all the time, they set up to block you off. But when you play in the Champions League, all the other teams are used to winning every week, so it’s more of an open game, it’s more attacking, end-to-end,” he said.
“No one’s used to defending, everyone’s used to attacking and trying to win games, so it’s just all against all.”
Bale also revealed that the music, that is played in stadia across Europe, before each game is one of the things he misses the most.
He said: “The music is a massive thing – Zadok the Priest (Handel’s anthem that announces the arrival of the teams). When we first got into the Champions League, it’s one of the things that most of the lads were looking forward to, hearing it in the stadium. It’s little things like that which make it special.’
