Gareth Bale believes Wales' Euro 2016 exploits will earn them more respect from other nations and the Real Madrid star is keen for further experiences of major international tournaments.
Wales' sensational run in France ended in a 2-0 semi-final defeat to Portugal in Lyon on Wednesday, with two goals in the space of three second-half minutes from Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani proving decisive.
Bale was unable to find his fourth goal of the competition as he battled to haul Chris Coleman's side back into the match, but he believes his team-mates will now be viewed differently having claimed victories over Slovakia, Russia, Northern Ireland and Belgium during a memorable campaign.
"I think we've grown in confidence and grown in stature," he said."We'll be more respected now.
