Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Fans Vent Anger After Gareth Bale Act of 'Selfishness'

Sean FayJan 11, 2015

Real Madrid beat Espanyol 3-0 on Saturday, but despite the comfortable win, not everybody was happy. 

Gareth Bale, who scored a free-kick earlier in the match, felt the wrath of Cristiano Ronaldo and the Real Madrid faithful in the 72nd minute, when he shot wide instead of passing to Ronaldo. 

According to The Daily Telegraph, "Ronaldo was visibly furious with Bale and the supporters were equally unforgiving, jeering the former Tottenham Hotspur player for selfishness."

Meanwhile, 101 Great Goals posted Spanish TV footage that claims to have deciphered what Ronaldo said to Bale as, "La puta que te pario," which translates as "the w---e that gave birth to you," though it is of course unconfirmed whether the Portuguese forward said these exact words.

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti tried to play down the incident during his post-match press conference, telling The Telegraph

"

Generosity is very important and if someone is being selfish then we will address it.

The supporters are very demanding when it comes to the important players and Bale is one of those.

We shouldn't blow this out of proportion. It's one moment in a football game. Relations between [Bale and Ronaldo] and everyone are very good. We are all pursuing the same goal, which is to lift Real Madrid as high as possible."

"

Bale has recently been linked with a move to Manchester United, as reported by the Telegraph.
