Gareth Bale was not going through his best moment at Real Madrid after being discarded by Zidane in the last three league dates. The media tried to reflect the image of a totally broken relationship but nothing is possible with Zidane. The Welshman was the novelty of the leader and the French coach aligned him as headline.
The soccer player's meeting had been good to take a series of days without playing any minute. The first goal was the result of an assistance from Bale that instantly received a penalty although the referee applied the law of advantage to perfection so that Isco added the tables on the scoreboard.
His performance in the game was diluted although he was very participatory with Modric and Isco and read their intentions perfectly. The Welsh footballer was the most active of the team Zidane despite having made absurd mistakes. Good return from Gareth which motivates the French coach to give him more minutes in the next events.
Zidane He decided to replace him in the 70th minute and there was one of the images that the televisions do not want to show because the morbidity of the bad nonexistent relationship between player and coach would end. Bale He left the bench and his coach approached to bump his hand and congratulate him on the effort during the match.
