Angry fans attack Gareth Bale's car after clasico defeat

Poor Bale! The Real Madrid forward has been a subject of heavy criticism at the Bernabeu since his form dropped. Booed at teammates during training, booed at fans and now attacked. The Welsh star was attacked by irate fans as he sped away from Valdebebas training ground following the club’s return from Barcelona.
He missed a chance to warm his way back to his fans’ hearts on Sunday as his goal was disallowed after teammate Cristiano Ronaldo was found in an offside position.
The ex-Tottenham star also received backlash from Spanish press, Marca who claimed that Real president Florentino Perez had paid €100million for a player worth €20m.
The club has however issued a statement condemning the incident, threatening it will take legal actions against “aggressive and violent actions against several of our players”

“The one thing you don’t want is to be on the end of is a nutmeg. Whenever someone gets nutmegged, we’re all jumping and joking around.

The world’s most expensive player ‎cannot stand the sight of spiders too.

“I call out to somebody, anybody, to come and deal with a spider, just so I don’t have to.”‎ He declared ‎
