Bale, who has been touted as a potential summer target for Real Madrid and other Champions League clubs, scored to give Spurs the win they needed against Sunderland on the last day but Arsenal's win at Newcastle gave them fourth spot.Tottenham's haul of 72 points was their highest in the Premier League and Villas-Boas is already looking to strengthen his squad. The incident occurred in the first half with the games goalless at both Spurs and Newcastle - and Villas-Boas maintained it could have changed the emphasis of the decisive final day.Villas-Boas insists his side will recover from the disappointment of missing out on the Champions League and make an even more powerful challenge next season.To achieve 72 points and not make it shows that to compete at this level we will probably have to make more than that as other clubs have great, great squads.We felt we did enough to deserve fourth spot," he said. "We are disappointed but we knew these could be the circumstances.Villas-Boas was disappointed at referee Andre Marriner's decision to book Bale for diving in the area when he appeared to have been bundled to the ground by the Black Cats' Sebastian Larsson. It was the Welshman's fifth caution of the season for this offence.Tottenham is a wonderful club who will continue to attract big players and will continue to push on.
