To call it a break-out performance would be an understatement, and a little unfair considering his hattrick in the first leg and good form stretching back to last season. But Gareth Bale's utter destruction of Inter's Maicon the Champions League set off weeks worth of superlative-laden headlines, breathless pundits and blockbuster transfer rumours for the young Welshman. Despite being at the top of virtually any fan or pundit's list of best fullbacks in the world as recently as one second before this match kicked off, Bale made Maicon look like a schoolboy for 90 minutes and left many wondering if he had spontaneously become washed up. Not the least were the Spurs fans, whose "Taxi For Maicon" chant was recognised by on-air commentators, in match reports and even by Bale himself.
