Spurs' spirit will see us bid for glory on two fronts until the end of the season, says Bale

Gareth Bale has said Tottenham can keep fighting on two fronts until the end of the season, claiming Champions League football for next season and challenging for the Europa League, Daily Mail reports.

Spurs sit in third in the Premier League, five points ahead of north London rivals Arsenal in fifth, but have played a game more than the Gunners.

They also host Basel in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final on Thursday, but talisman Bale believes the togetherness in the squad will see them through.

'We are a very close group as a team. At some places there's little groups here and little groups there but we have got a great team spirit and we want to take that into the rest of the season,' Bale told Eurosport.

'Ronaldo and Messi have set the standard as the best players in the world, and everyone wants to play like them' said Bale.
'Year by year I'm improving and I can still improve.'
