Gareth Bale credits his superb first season at Real Madrid to the leadership of Cristiano Ronaldo.
When he arrived from Tottenham, much was made of how he might operate alongside Cristiano Ronaldo. Whether the finest player in English football could exist in harmony with the finest player in the world.
But Bale credits Ronaldo with being a reason why his has been such a smooth transition.
"Cristiano has been very supportive," said Bale. "From the first day I came in, he has been there for me. On day one he gave me advice on the best areas to live and stuff like that.
"We talk a lot; have a good relationship on and off the pitch. I've learned a bit of everything from him. The way he plays and gets himself into certain positions; it's a chance to learn off one of the best players in the world. Hopefully, that will improve me as a player."
Bale would like to add more goals to his game.
"I don't think there's anything specific," he said. "It is more my all-round game, positioning-wise. I need to get myself into more goal-scoring positions.
"Every year I try to keep improving and I tell myself that if I keep working hard I will get better."
To be part of the team that wins La Decima - Madrid's 10th European Cup - would be special.
"It would be a dream to win it," says Bale.
