Gareth Bale has claimed that he does not feel as much pressure at Real Madrid as he did with former club Tottenham Hotspur.
The Welshman sealed an £86m move to the Santiago Bernabeu in September and usurped Cristiano Ronaldo as the world's most expensive player in the process.
Nevertheless, Bale, who struck 26 times for Spurs last season, says that there is less pressure on him to produce the goods in the Spanish capital due to an abundance of creative talent at the club.
He told The Telegraph: "At Tottenham I was always trying to get onto the ball and make everything tick, whereas here everybody's doing that.
"There are world-class players all around the pitch and you're able to concentrate just on your game rather than bringing the whole team forward, and I'm enjoying that."
The 24-year-old has enjoyed a bright start to life with the Blancos, helping the club to third in the Primera Liga standings with seven goals.
