Real Madrid star Gareth Bale has posted a video of himself online in which he scores a basketball hoop with his feet.

The Welsh footballer, who has spent most of his career so far at Tottenham Hotspur, posted the footage of the impressive stunt on his Instagram account.

He said he was inspired by an NBA game which he saw on tour in London.

"Just saw the @nba game in London. Always thought it was easier with my feet!! Show me yours skills, use #GB11Skills," he wrote next to the video.
