TENSION AT REAL MADRID: RONALDO AND BALE CLASH OVER SELFISH PLAY
Despite a reassuring 3–0 victory over Espanyol, Real Madrid’s win was overshadowed by a moment of tension between Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale. The issue? Bale opted to shoot instead of passing to Ronaldo, who was visibly frustrated and voiced his anger on the pitch, sparking discussion across social media.
The disagreement occurred during an attacking play in which Bale went for goal rather than feeding a better-positioned Ronaldo. Cameras captured the Portuguese star expressing his frustration with heated words, highlighting ongoing questions about chemistry between the two forwards.
Isco Tries to Defuse the Situation:
Midfielder Isco later attempted to downplay the incident:
“Ultimately, it’s the player who decides in a game. Bale didn’t see Ronaldo. In the next game, he’ll pass to him. He decided to shoot and that’s it. These things happen in football.”
While Real got the three points, all eyes will be on how Bale and Ronaldo move forward—and whether this tension will affect harmony in the dressing room.
