Chris Coleman: 'Gareth Bale makes all the difference'

Coleman: 'Bale makes the difference'

Wales manager Chris Coleman has admitted that Gareth Bale "makes all the difference" to his side following their victory over Andorra this evening.

The Real Madrid winger spared his nation's blushes as he scored twice to secure a comeback victory over the minnows, ensuring that Wales kicked off their Euro 2016 campaign with a victory.

The 25-year-old has netted 11 goals in his last 15 international appearances, and Coleman suggested that only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo can match the forward's quality.

"There are only another two players in the world who can do what Gareth Bale can do. He makes all the difference," Coleman told Sky Sports News.

Wales are next in action when they take on Bosnia-Herzegovina on October 10.
