I think we are going over the top here! Pepe and most of the Madrid players are fully supportive and celebrate Bale's goals enthusiastically.
I just think di Maria has an issue, Benzyma can 'sometimes' be greedy (albeit he is in no way anti Bale, as far as I am concerned) and Ronaldo is Ronaldo - the best player on the planet who will always back himself to score if remotely possible.
I just hope di Maria, who is an excellent player, wises up and realises that Bale on fire with ammunition is good for the club and the players, if they want to be successful. di Maria is good at providing assists but last night, as has been the case in other games I have seen, when Bale was in space he chose to go it alone or seek out Benzyma, instead of utilising Bale's pace and potential. Hopefully this is all about earning respect and Bale surely has gone a long way towards achieving that after last night! Let's just enjoy a one in a lifetime player like Bale while it lasts!

Watched that goal countless times this morning already, just magical. Anyone else screamed 'YEESSS' when he scored?!
The thing with Di Maria is that he was reported to be involved in a swap deal with some other Madrid players for Bale, and also Bale will be 'replacing' him in the team. It's just pure jealousy.
Even though it was probably the highlight of his career so far, and won Madrid the game, I still felt sorry for him at the final whistle when hardly any Madrid player congratulated him. Selfish knobs.
Why doesn't a pundit bring this issue up? It's certainly worthy of attention. Hopefully Coleman might produce another moment of bumbling genius and mention it an interview or press conference.

Ok so now he's produced a stunning moment in one of the "important games", can more people accept he's having a superb first season?

For the most part, he's doing as well as Ronaldo did to start with at Madrid, i.e. good but not spectacular. True, he hasn't shone in huge games, or at huge moments, but I confidently predict he will score the winner tonight  Can you confidently predict we will qualify for Euro16? |

Imo hes still having a 'good' first season, certainly better than most British exports have achieved. But as I said above, I don't blame Bale for not having an exceptional season. He has not been used right by Madrid and I feel that he will get much better, but only if his team mates 'allow' him too. Because of his touchline hugging role Bale still seems to rely on being brought into the game a lot by his team mates and when they don't pass to him you don't even know he is on the pitch. The Bayern home game is huge- no Ronaldo and now Bale has proved his worth they simply must use him as the focal point of everything they do. Then, we may see Bale's season transition from good to exceptional. |

When he scored that goal Ronaldo was going mental in the crowd and the players ran over to celebrate with him. They do not hate Bale but in any work place you are always going to be a bit cold to someone coming in who is excellent at what he does, even if you don't mean to be.
Ronaldo is the best player in the world and not even Bale is close to that level so of course they are going to pass to him more. Last night I did not notice they were deliberately not passing to him, but maybe now they will give him the ball more now he has proven he can score wonder goals like that (Not that he needed to).

He definitely has a disconnect with most of his team-mates. We just don't know what it is, it could be the language barrier or it could be the fact he's the second best paid at the club or they could just be jealous, I don't know.
Before the goal he was having a good season, now he is having a great season. That was his first winner all season, his first goal in the cup and his first goal in a final. Madrid's most important goal this year. He will go down in Madrid history, he'll go down in clasico history for that goal and he still has the champions league to come and make more history. A 90th minute winner for la decima would do nicely! lol.

I was watching a quiz show this week and one of the early easy questions was-
What country does Gareth Bale play for? -- a) wales b) Scotland or c) England
The guy answered 'It should be England but it is, in fact, Wales'.
Not sure how he came to the conclusion that it should be England but he got £5,000 for that answer.
Sorry don't know the name of the quiz show as I spend about 0.01% of my time watching quiz shows.

Radio 5 stating that Bale has got flu and could be out of the Bayern game tomorrow night. :-(

Just checked the Real Madrid website and nowhere does it say that Bale is not playing. If he wasn't playing, it would be big news.

Stating the correct course of action based upon his preference. |

Notice how Benzema passed to Ronaldo then when played through, bet he would have shot if it was Bale in support...

Mark of respect by Bayern at the end there where he picked up the ball in injury time and started to drift past people, they looked very panicked at trying to stop him with everyone making a beeline over to him to get a foot in. I think Bale laid down a marker with that goal in the Copa Del Rey final.

I have a theory.
Madrid are much stronger with just one of Ronaldo and Bale on the pitch. What's easier... saying your second best player is ill or saying he isn't playing for tactical reasons.......
ANYWAY
A good cameo for our Bale, I just wish he'd shot with his left right at the end instead of going on his right!

He has gone to a different level since his short time at Real Madrid and I believe he is still improving.

Poor old Gareth, one major medal in the bag, a champions league final and possibly even a treble
Why oh Why did he leave Spurs, he could of been playing a meaningless game against West Ham on the weekend instead of enduring this nightmare first season
