Gareth Bale disappointed at missing out on Champions League but hints he will stay at Spurs It's disappointing, but we will pick ourselves up again. We will just have to regroup this season and give it another go. Bale rounded off a remarkable year on Sunday by scoring his 26th goal of the season, but his wonder winner against Sunderland was not enough to earn the club Champions League qualification. The 23-year-old lit up the Champions League three seasons ago, starring in the club's run to the quarter-finals, which saw them beat both Milan sides before losing to Real Madrid. And having enjoyed such a successful season personally, the Welshman concedes that he was disappointed to miss out on another shot at the big time. "It was obviously great to sign off with a great goal in the last minute, but circumstances made it hard to celebrate," he said after picking up his latest accolade - the Tottenham Player-of-the-Year award. To play the way we have also but to miss out on our objective (Champions League qualification) is very disappointing. It was great to get the win but the clouds just came over and made it a little bit duller, but it's something we have to learn from, we are a young squad, and we will take it in to the future. Bale will play his last match of the season on Thursday when he and his Tottenham team-mates take on the Jamaica national team in a friendly in the Bahamas. Andre Villas-Boas is keen to build his team around Bale next season, and stressed that significant investment was required in order to bridge the small gap between themselves and Arsenal. Leandro Damiao, Christian Eriksen, Christian Benteke and Heung-Min Son have been mentioned as possible targets for the north London club.
