Gareth Bale has insisted that his game is feeling the benefit of playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo for Real Madrid this season.
The 24-year-old, who joined Real from Tottenham Hotspur last summer, believes that Ronaldo's form means that the club can be optimistic of achieving great success this season.
"Cristiano is the best player in the world at the moment and we all know how good he is," Bale told members of the press. "It helps me a lot being in a front line with him and I hope we can keep improving and win a title this season.
"We're right in there in all three competitions. We have the chance to win them all, but we're going to take it one game at a time."
Madrid are currently three points clear at the top of La Liga.
