' Fans' hostile confrontation as missile thrown at his car '
Gareth Bale was subjected to vile abuse outside of Real Madrid's training base just days later as so-called fans hurled expletives at him and one threw a pen at his car.
An injury to his calf on international duty meant that he would miss a number of weeks of action for Los Blancos, stirring the ire once again of those sharpening their pens in the press offices there. The news sparked a vicious backlash in the Spanish media, with one pundit erupting live on TV over Bale's chequered injury record.
However, that then spilled over into actual abuse being thrown Bale's way within touching distance. A video emerged on Twitter showing the 32-year-old leaving the Spanish club's Valdebebas base with a small group of fans waiting outside.
They began to curse at the Wales talisman, with calls of "F*** you!" being heard from one fan. Another screams "Maricon!" which is a homophobic slur. During the vile verbal abuse, one supporter appears to throw a pen into the side of Bale's Audi, prompting the player to stop and look at the perpetrator before driving off. It was not the first time Bale's car has been targeted, following on from an unsavoury incident in 2015 after a 2-1 loss to Barcelona.
Bale's agent, Jonathan Barnett, slammed Real Madrid fans for the way the Wales star had been treated by them. Speaking to Spanish outlet El Chiringuito, Barnett stated: “I don’t, why should I care?” after being asked if he considers the opinion of the Real Madrid supporters. "I think they’ve been disgusting to Gareth Bale."

It seems he doesnt want to play for them any more - which is a shame. I think we would feel the same - imagine if Isaac Vassell (who has been injured for 3 years) gets picked for his country - scores a couple of goals and then limps off injured again at the end of the game - and goes back on the injured list again for a number of weeks.

If they were so unhappy with him why did they step in and stop the transfer to China at the last minute ?
Everyone seems to be glossing over how Bale has been appallingly treated by Madrid. Zidane just left him on the bench and Ancelotti has also just used him as a substitute.
I don't blame Bale for now screwing them for every penny/Euro !!

I don't think he 'doesn't want to play' for Real Madrid; it's more a case of being frozen out for nefarious reasons
As he showed at Spurs last season, give him a run of games and he is still as good as there is; just ask Austria
The way he has been treated (a) by Zidane, (b) the Spanish Press and (c) by the Real Madrid 'fans' has been nothing short or disgraceful
Best he comes home to the Welsh capital, methinks...

No one said if it was a 'missed pen' by the Brazilian Castas Biro, mate?!
