Bale has not been integral for his side this season, and was an unused substitute in Real’s last five matches.
It was during these substitute stints that the Welshman became an online talk after he was constantly spotted seemingly aiming a dig at his own club.

In one of the matches, Bale was seen covering his face in a gesture that showed he was rather bored after Zidane used all five of his substitutions.

On another instance, he was spotted looking through imaginary binoculars.
Zidane was asked about Bale’s antics during a presser where he vehemently denied any rift between himself and the player.
The Ballon d’or winner also accused media of trying to paint a non-existent beef between the two.
“My God, what a question, man! We think about tomorrow’s game, and Gareth the same. He is one of us. You try to put things between us but you won’t be able to,” an agitated Zidane said.
“Every day you ask the same. You can, you have the right to ask, but everyone here is united. We all think the same way, Gareth, James (Rodriguez), everyone here. We all want the same thing.” He went on.
Under Zidane this season, Bale has only managed 100 minutes of La Liga football.
All Spanish top flight teams will be in action on Thursday, July 16 in the second last round of fixtures of the season with Real Madrid playing Villareal.
A win on the night would be enough to secure a famous league title for Zidane.
