Gareth Bale has stressed that Real Madrid are brimming
with confidence ahead of this weekend's La Liga match against Barcelona and do not fear the Catalans. Madrid
beat Schalke 3-1 on Tuesday evening to make it 9-2 on aggregate in their
Champions League round of 16 tie and Bale feels the Santiago Bernabeu side are
in fine form ahead of the Clasico. "We're playing well, with a lot of
confidence and we're on a good run. Now we have to prepare really well for the
next match against Barcelona," Bale told the official Madrid website. "Barcelona
are a direct rival and we are going to try and put in a good performance and
take the three points". "They have some very good players, but we are focused on our game and on our team because we also have very good players."
The Welshman then went on to praise Cristiano Ronaldo in the wake of the prolific attacker's double against Schalke and insisted that the Portugal star is the best around in the game. "Cristiano's the best in the world, he is spectacular and an example to everyone. "Ronaldo has netted 41 goals in 37 appearances in all competitions for Madrid so far this term.
