Report: Gareth Bale's Relationship With Zinedine Zidane 'Worse Than Ever'

Despite getting a rare start this week, Gareth Bale's relationship with Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane is reportedly 'worse than ever'.

It's been no secret that the pair have not been on best of terms since Zidane revealed the sooner Bale leaves the better before the start of the campaign.

ESPN have reported that relationship between the duo is now at breaking point and is seemingly beyond repair at this point.

The fall-out reportedly dates back to the 2017/2018 final when the Welshman was left on the bench, although he did bag a brace to seal their 13th title.

It is being reported that Bale is not pleased with constantly being named on the substitutes and his reactions to the news does not sit well with Zidane and his coaching staff.

Since LaLiga resumed earlier this month, Bale has only started one of the four games, which was Thursday night's 2-0 win over Real Mallorca as Los Blancos reclaimed top spot.

It remains to be seen what will happen next season, after his agent revealed the Welshman is happy at the Santiago Bernabeu.
