Bale wants to be as good as Ronaldo one day

Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale has admitted that Cristiano Ronaldo’s game is on a whole different level from everyone else’s and he hopes to match him one day by playing as well as the the 2013 Ballon d’Or winner. Bale also places his bets on Ronaldo to retain the Ballon d'Or this time around as well.

Bale joined Madrid on a record 100 Million Euros deal in 2013 and has impressed the Los Blancos side on numerous occasions.

Gareth Bale scored on his return from injury as Madrid defeated Rayo Vallecano 5-1 on Saturday night. So far Bale has scored 5 goals from 8 appearances whereas Ronaldo has got 22 goals from just 16 games.

Here is what Bale had to say to BBC :

I'm improving all the time and trying to get to the level Cristiano's at,"

"The amount of goals he scores and what he does for the team is incredible.

"Nobody is living up to that at. At the moment he's on another level to everyone else.

"By seeing him in training and in games it gives me that kind of platform to aim for and keep improving, and hopefully one day I can get there.

"If you don't want to be the world's best you probably shouldn't be playing football."
