I don't see it as ridculous.
When was the last time in the CL that a winger scored a hat-trick, away from home, with his team reduced to 10 men, against the reigning champions?
It was an amazing individual performance that epitomises Bale's sheer drive and talent. If you can't see that then we'll just have to agree to disagree.
It was meaningless Glaston. Absolutely, completely and utterly meaningless. Inter were 4-0 up and coasting, Bale scored a few good goals, 2 in injury time, against a team strolling, and a right back who, while regarded as one of the best in the world, is regarded so for his attacking prowess, he's never been a great defender and couldn't cope with Bale for pace.
Bale took his goals very well that night, Inter couldnt cope with him for pace late in the game, but where was he when his team really needed him at
0-0, 1-0, 2-0 even 3-0? Why didnt he (couldn't he) make the difference THEN, when it really counted? That is what great players do when they put in great performances.
Berbatov scored a hat trick for us against the scousers, the 3rd of which was an overhead kick, and game winning goal. I've yet to hear anyone declare it one of the greatest ever performances by an individual player in the premier league, and his hat trick/perfomrance actually meant something.
