In a showdown that was billed as a pivotal meeting in this year’s Champions League chase, Manchester United managed to claim maximum points thanks to a last-gasp winner on Saturday afternoon.

Gareth Bale is eager to learn from Cristiano Ronaldo after joining him at Real Madrid.

The Wales international completed his big-money switch to the Liga club on Sunday and was unveiled in front of more than 20,000 fans at the Santiago Bernabeu on Monday.

While the fee has not been disclosed, reports suggest that Bale s price tag makes him the most expensive player in history taking the mantle from Ronaldo, who signed from Manchester United in 2009 for £80million.
