The freshly minted world's most expensive player Gareth Bale has one target in mind - place himself alongside the greats of Real Madrid.
Bale completed his world record move from Tottenham on transfer deadline day and there will be huge expectations from everyone around the world to prove himself worthy of the massive fee.
"There have been the likes of (Zinedine) Zidane and obviously the previous ones, which were a bit before my time, like (Ferenc) Puskas and (Alfredo) Di Stefano," he said.
"There are lot of players who have been unbelievable here, world class and legends of the game. Hopefully, I can become the player I want to be, and hopefully be in that league."
Bale was also all praise for his new manager Carlo Ancelotti and is looking forward to working under the Italian.
"I've spoken to other players who have had him as manager and it's been nothing short of he's the best manager they've ever had," Bale added. "So obviously that was a factor in me coming, working with a great like himself.
"As for the squad, it's an absolutely amazing squad, I've got to work hard to get in the starting XI. There are world-class players here and I obviously came here to be a part of it and to try and get into the starting XI and win trophies.
"Champions League football is a massive reason for me to come here and I don't just want to be playing in it, I want to be winning it. Coming to a club like Real Madrid is exactly where I want to be to win things.
"I'm sure everybody at the club wants to win it and I definitely want to help achieve that goal."
Some reports have suggested Bale might find it difficult to coexist with Real's resident superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, but the Welshman does not envisage any problems with the Portuguese, whom he considers to be the best player in the world.
"For me, he's the best player in the world," Bale said.
"It will obviously be a pleasure to play with him. You can only learn off the best and he certainly is that. Hopefully we can work together and provide a lot more trophies for Real Madrid."
