All of the remaining teams playing in the UEFA Euro 2016 must beware: Wales is in it for the real thing.
That's what team leader Gareth Bale stated in a press conference today, as The Dragons brace themselves for their first appearance in the continental tournament's KO stage.
Real Madrid's wingman analyzed the team's chances of success in the tournament, and even asked their supporters to enjoy this moment after years of struggles.
"Wales has been in some bad places, we were 112th in the world, but now we're in the last 16 of the Euros, so these are days to enjoy. Obviously you come to the tournament for one reason: to win. Not to play three games and go home," Wales' most famous player stated.
Bale is one of the tournament's top scorers with three goals.

The 26-year-old player looked into the team's chances of success, considering the opponents they'd have to face on their way to the final.
"We know our side of the draw, maybe it is more favourable. I know it's a cliche but we'll take each one as it comes. Yes we would love to win it, but all our focus now is on Northern Ireland," Bale added.
