Gareth Bale: Bale has been a part of a Real Madrid side that has won four Champions League and several other trophies. The Welshman has made significant contributions, especially in big games.
However, the Brit has always been on the receiving end of criticism and disgraceful comments by the Spanish media.
Gareth Bale: A ‘parasite’ claims Spanish newspaper Marca
Spanish newspaper Marca have never been the biggest fan of Bale, with several criticisms over the years. However, recently they made a shameful comment regarding the former Tottenham man.
The report read, “The Bale parasite came from the cold and rainy Britain.
“He settled in Spain, at Real Madrid, where, masked, he first showed diligence and love for the guest, but then his nature led him to suck blood without giving anything in return. Well, more than blood, he sucked and sucks the club’s euros.
“Unlike others of its kind, such as the flea, the louse or the bedbug, the Bale parasite does not cause itching or illnesses in its host, but after sucking, it laughs and makes fun of it, showing a jocular contempt for the one from whom he lives.
“He laughs, applauds, throws himself on the ground, sings, as a kind of humiliating ceremony,’ which, luckily, has an expiration date, like all misfortunes.”
Bale despite such comments have continued to do what he does best and that is to turn up for his side in big moments. The 32-year-old’s brace helped Wales to progress to the finals of the World Cup qualifiers.
Following the match, Bale responded to the disgusting act by the media
Bale: I don’t need to send a message
“I don’t need to send a message. I don’t need to say anything, it’s a waste of my time,” he said.
“It’s disgusting. They should be ashamed of themselves. I am not fussed, end of.
“I can hit a free kick if I am able to play. It was nice to see it go in.”
Marca, however, once again have criticised Bale, stating that he is brilliant only when he wants to. And that is for his national side and seldom for Madrid.
“Bale is a phenomenon when he wants to be.”
“’Bale will have to again demonstrate he is a star, a thing which in Madrid he has not wanted to show for around the last three years,” the report read.

In response to this Gareth has taken this issue on social media.
“The media expect superhuman performances from professional athletes and will be the first to celebrate with them when they deliver, yet instead of commiserating with them when they show an ounce of human error, they are torn to shreds instead, encouraging anger and disappointment in their fans,” he wrote.
“I hope that by the time our children are of an age to ingest news that journalism ethics and standards will have been enforced more stringently.
“So I want to use my platform to encourage change in the way we publicly talk about and criticise people. Simply, for the most part, not meeting the often unrealistic expectations that are projected onto them.”
