Bale again. The Welshman abandoned his chair in the Di Stéfano stands to go to the locker room in full title game. With 0-0 on the scoreboard, he walked down the stairs until entering through the entrance and disappearing before the indifference of his teammates.
After a few minutes, he returned with a plastic cup and had a relaxed chat with Zidane. It is not the first time. Since Madrid played in Valdebebas, they have adopted the routine of, intermittently, going to the locker room with the games at stake.
Today is your birthday
Paradoxically, Gareth Bale turns today 31 years. The winger scored his only two goals in this League against Villarreal, on Matchday 3. Since then, 837 minutes without seeing goal. He is not a starter (and has not had participations) since June 24, in the match against Mallorca.
