Gareth Bale received dogs of abuse from Real Madrid fans after his side’s Champions League exit on Wednesday night.
Madrid lost 3-2 to Juventus on aggregate and Bale missed a number of chances at the Bernabeu, including a late close range header that many felt he should have scored.
The Madrid fans made their feelings known after the game, shouting abuse terms such as ‘cabron’ (motherf****r) and ‘hijo de puta’ (erm, also motherf****r).

Bale defended his form on Sky Sports News.
“There have been some ups and downs but personally I think I’ve played well,” said the Welsh star.
“I was unlucky not to grab one,” he added. “As long as I keep trying, usually one goes in. Unfortunately it didn’t happen tonight and you move on.”
