Ramos admits Bale has stunned Real Madrid teammates in training

Gareth Bale has quickly impressed his new Real Madrid teammates at training. Bale scored on debut in Saturday's draw against Villarreal.

Real defender Sergio Ramos revealed: "Of course Gareth Bale has been the biggest transfer of the summer - and we are glad now that he is with us.

"The truth is because he did not play for a team in England that played in the Champions League - we did not know that much about him.

"We know if he the coach wanted him that strongly he must be a good player - but nobody was prepared for how special he is.

"It has only been a few training sessions we have seen him in - but some of what we see we can't believe. He is so fast, so tricky, and the frightening thing is that he is not even 100 per cent game fit yet."
