Real Madrid star Gareth Bale admits it’s “a bit more relaxed” at the Bernabeu since Cristiano Ronaldo joined Juventus.
The Ballon d’Or completed a €100m move to the Bianconeri this summer, allowing his Welsh teammate to take on a more prominent role in the team.
“Obviously it's going to be a little different from having such a big player there,” Bale told the Daily Mail.
“It's maybe a bit more relaxed, yes. I suppose there is more of a team, more working as one unit rather than one player.”

Ronaldo won UEFA’s goal of the season for a spectacular overhead kick against Juve, but Bale wasn’t even nominated for his own effort in the Champions League final against Liverpool.
“I don't know how it wasn't on that list! I want to know who is on the panel because they want to be sacked.
“Was it better than Ronaldo’s? It’s not for me to say!”
