Zinedine Zidane Reacts To Gareth Bale's Antics On Bench

Zinedine Zidane Reacts To Gareth Bale's Antics On Bench

Following the viral images of Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale playing the fool on the bench, manager Zinedine Zidane has reacted to his player's behaviour.

Having not been given much game time lately, the Welshman has seemingly found another way to make headlines while sitting on Los Blancos' bench.

Last week, Bale was seen pretending to be asleep with his face mask covering his eyes, behaviour that has rubbed some the wrong way considering his huge wages, and had others in stitches with laughter.

In his side's 2-1 LaLiga win over Granada on Monday night, the former Tottenham Hotspur winger was spotted jokingly using medical tape as binoculars.

Asked to comment on Bale's antics on the bench, Zidane insisted he has no problem with the 30-year-old.
