Gareth Bale says he won't be overcome by the pressure of his massive price tag after being officially unveiled as a Real Madrid player in front of 20,000 fans at the Santiago Bernabeu yesterday.
Bale's prolonged transfer from Tottenham Hotspur was finally completed last Sunday evening with contrasting reports over whether he had become the most expensive player in the history of the game.
The English media reported Bale's transfer had broken the record Real paid for Cristiano Ronaldo four years ago at €101 million ($133.5 million, £86 million), while in Spain reports citing Real Madrid sources claimed the deal was concluded for €91 million , three million less than Ronaldo.
"The pressure is just as much pressure as I put on myself. I have come here to play the best football I can and I'm going to give 100 percent and try to help the team to win things," the midfielder said.
