Gareth Bale: Real Madrid present record signing to fans

Gareth Bale has been presented to Real Madrid supporters following his world record £85.3m (100m euros) transfer from Tottenham. 

 

The Wales forward received a rapturous reception after stepping out on stage in a dark suit in front of more than 20,000 of fans at the Bernabeu Stadium.
Speaking in Spanish, the 24-year-old told fans: "It is a dream to be here in Madrid. Thank you for this welcome."
Bale passed a medical earlier on Monday and is set to host a news conference.
Bale, who scored 21 league goals for Tottenham last season, agreed a £300,000 per week, six-year deal with Real on Sunday evening.

Real fans queued up outside the Bernabeu on Monday morning before flooding into the stadium to greet their new idol.
They wore replica shirts emblazoned with Bale's name, waved scarves and posters of the Wales international.
