Gareth Bale's last months at Real Madrid ended up definitively extinguishing the lack of consideration - and memory - of Madrid supporters / journalists towards him.

The Welshman, the best paid player in the locker room (30 million per year), played a single match in 2022, and he no longer hides his lack of interest in the daily work at Valdebebas, before living again when he joins his friends from the Welsh selection during international breaks.

As of Monday, he had made no secret that his only objective for weeks in Madrid was to prepare for these two play-offs and the possibility, perhaps, of playing his only World Cup before hanging up.

Bale kept his word, author of the magnificent double that allowed Wales to beat Austria and play a final for Qatar against Sweden on Tuesday evening.

Bale compared to a parasite

But the performance drew mild acrimony from Madrid, where Bale hasn't played a decent game for two years, to be kind.

Thus, an angry colleague from

Marca

produced a short column spinning the metaphor of Bale and the parasite.

Excerpts: “The Bale parasite arrived from the cold and the English rains.

He settled in Spain, where he initially showed a certain zeal for his host, before his deep nature led him to suck his host's blood without ever bringing anything in return.

Finally, more than blood, he sucked and sucked the club's money.

And unlike its fellow creatures, such as fleas or bedbugs, it did not cause itching and disease, but instead began to laugh and make fun of its host who pays it its salary…”

“A slanderous article”

Chronic daring and immediately spotted by the

Daily Mail

, which made it its cabbage.

This is how Gareth Bale (or his entourage) came across it.

He who never reacts to anything, suggesting that everything goes beyond him, has split an update on his social networks:

“The

Daily Mail

has brought to light a slanderous and pejorative article by

Marca

.

In a time when people end their lives because of the harshness and relentlessness of the media, I would like to know to whom these journalists report?

Luckily, I've learned to develop a shell since I've been in the spotlight, but that doesn't mean this kind of article doesn't hurt those who are targeted personally and professionally."

Can't wait for June 30 for everyone.
