The two players each scored twice in big wins for their sides, as Balotelli helped Nice go 4-1 up against Caen and Bale sent Real Madrid on the way to a 6-0 victory over Celta.
More two-goal heroes have been drafted into the first XI, with Erik Lamela also included after his exploits in Tottenham’s 5-4 win over Leicester while West Ham’s Manuel Lanzini also makes the cut.
Meanwhile, Premier League champion Leroy Sane gets a nod after a bright display against Southampton as Manchester City closed the season with a win.
