Gareth Bale deserves more football, but El Clasico snub shows it wont come at Real Madrid
A smattering of whistles broke out around the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday as Gareth Bale prepared to enter the Clasico stage at 1-0 down.His mission, with less than 30 minutes left on the clock, was to try to score the goal that would keep Real Madrids hopes of reaching the Copa del Rey final alive.Bale was booed by some of hos own supporters as he came on against Barcelona4

Yet the Welshman had only been on the pitch for seconds when Barcelona had the ball in the back of the net again, Raphal Varane deflecting an Ousmane Dembl cross past Keylor Navas. Baras third followed shortly after, Luis Suarez chipping Navas from the penalty spot and leaving Madrid with an insurmountable mountain.This time there was no genuine opportunity to be the hero and change the big game, as Bale so often has over the last six years in the Spanish capital. In hindsight, it is tempting to imagine whether he could have helped Madrid avoid a cup exit from a starting spot, rather than being reduced to a cameo.That starting spot wasnt afforded because coach Santiago Solari would rather not take the tactical risk. Bales lack of defensive assistance has hurt Madrid in some games this season, his passiveness most obviously exemplified in their embarrassing 3-0 defeat to Eibar back in November. Solari persisted with the superstar for a few more matches, but since the turn of the year his preference has become clear. The Argentine has thrown his weight behind the hard work of Lucas Vzquez rather than the erratic talent of Bale, even if it means less cutting edge up front.The consequences of that trade-off were clear against Bara. While Lucas could often be seen back in his own third, robbing the ball from the visitors in a manner that Madrids number 11 would not, equally, he caused no real danger at the other end. When a cutting ball was played over Baras backline in the 21st minute for example, Jordi Alba was no doubt delighted to face the far more beatable Galician rather than the pace and acceleration of Bale. Barcelonas left-back swept up comfortably.Since joining Real Madrid from Tottenham in 2013, Bale has won four Champions Leagues with the club and scored important goals in the finalsGetty4

When minutes later, a ball broke to Lucas in the Blaugrana box with goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen caught in no-mans land, the winger lacked killer instinct and wasnt on his toes, where Bale would surely have buried it. Ironically enough, when Bara finally scored their first goal of the night, it came down Madrids right side regardless the side Bale is seen to weaken, remember.Which brings us to the whistles, the fruitless cameo, and the latest sad chapter in what now looks like a prolonged, inevitable and sad exit for a man who has helped extend his clubs European Cup count by four. The relationship between Bale and Madrids fans increasingly appears broken. His body language and gestures on the pitch suggest the relationship between him and some of his colleagues is too.Despite scoring Real’s winner against Levante, Bale appeared angry and shrugged off his own team-mates as they tried to celebrate with him4

Colleagues have been conspicuously quiet as a nasty media campaign against him in the Spanish press picks up pace. No longer the Cardiff express, it’s now The Golfer and he must find the silence deafening as snipes come thick and fast. Someone who has scored as many big goals in finals as the Welshman could be forgiven for wanting more support.

Despite his contribution in goals, trophies, and more than half a decade of service, Bale has never really managed to become universally loved by Madrid fans (and in recent years at least, the media). His time at the Bernabeu is a contradiction: in the present it is marked by a sensation that someone of his ability could have done more. In the future, when the details become blurred and the trophy haul is all that matters, it will surely be considered a success.Rumours that Bale’s six years at Real Madrid will come to an end this summer have been rife4

There have been murmurs of an exit before of course, but this time feels different. More definitive. By now, parting ways feels like the best outcome for all parties. For Madrid fans, it will perhaps provide the perspective needed to appreciate the amount of silverware 105m bought them. An apparently huge price at the time, but one that ended the painful wait for La Decima, then helped that snowball roll into three more Champions Leagues.For Bale, a new challenge may be what is needed to help him enjoy football again. He certainly doesnt look like someone enjoying football at the moment, and thats a shame.
