The Spurs and Arsenal stars helped their country to a famous victory last night.
Wales secured their place in the knockout stages of Euro 2016 in style with a dominant win over a hapless Russia team last night.
First-half goals from Aaron Ramsey and Neil Taylor were complimented by a Gareth Bale strike in the second period to give Chris Coleman’s team the scoreline their performance deserved.
The scintillating display was a fitting way to earn top spot in the group after England failed to break down a dogged Slovakia team.
Wales reached the knockout stages of an international competition for the first time since 1958, when a Pele strike saw them exit the World Cup at the quarter-final stage.
They will now face a third-placed team from either group A, C or D in the last 16 and will fancy their chances of progressing to the quarter-finals.
The togetherness in the camp, the organisation and commitment of each player and the match-winning quality of Bale will give the Welsh a fighting chance against any team in the competition.
The momentous night unsurprisingly provoked a fervent reaction and we have brought together some of the best from the men of the moment below:
