Welcome to Madrid! Ronaldo puts reducer on Bale's ankle in just the Welshman's third full training session... then goes for more

Having lost his tag as the world's most expensive player to Gareth Bale, it is perhaps understandable Cristiano Ronaldo would have wanted to show his new Real Madrid team-mate who is boss at the Bernabeu.
In just Bale's third full training session since joining from Tottenham in a £86million move, he was on the end of a rare sliding tackle from the former Manchester United star - who was probably keen to show the Welsh wizard what it takes to become the Real deal.
Although Pepe seems to be laughing in the background at what looks like a typical training ground challenge between two team-mates, closer inspection reveals that Ronaldo shows no mercy on Bale by flying into his ankle.
Bale appeared to be OK following the incident - but he did not seem very happy. It wasn't the first incident, and in fact the training session featured a number of challenges from Ronaldo on the Welshman.
Ronaldo was the previous most expensive player in the world following his £80m move to Madrid from Manchester United in 2009 and judging by these pictures isn't about to let Bale enjoy an easy ride and settle in to his first few weeks at the Bernabeu.
