Gareth Bale says the pressure is off Wales who now take on Northern Ireland in the last 16 having topped Group B with two wins.

And Bale says the team are enjoying their stay in France, forever mindful of the low points the group have experienced together.

"It's an amazing feeling we've got in the camp," he said. "It's not just been the last two years we've been working towards, but since we all started, young boys growing into men.

"We've all been together and come through a massive journey and we've been to some bad places. We've been ranked 112 in the world and now we're in the last 16 of the Euros, so these days are to be enjoyed and we're taking it all in our stride."
