Gareth Bale: Zinedine Zidane reveals Real Madrid forward 'didn't want to play' vs Manchester City
City won first leg 2-1 in February; Bale not injured but omitted from 24-man squadwww.skysports.com
Zidane showing his class again.
Pathetic.
There aren’t 24 players in the world better than Gareth Bale
that’s why it’s pathetic
want to win games? at least put him on the bench. not like he’s ever come off the bench to win a CL match before
oh wait....

No new pages? However for the right price we should sign him.He’s really letting himself down if this is true. That being said if it’s not the case and Zidane is lying then fireworks could soon start flying. Such a sad situation for one of my all time favourites. As I’m banned from the transfer section I can only guess at how many pages his thread is on now after this. Bring him home Daniel.
Wasted his prime years for money , hope he enjoys the money , that’s all his got now , these kids need to realise money isn’t eberything
Having pondered it, I wouldn't judge him because we don't know anywhere near the full facts but what is clear is that it's a shame he's pissing away two or three years of his career over all this. He hasn't got many of those left.
Exactly this. There's a big difference between saying "I prefer not to play" which is what Zidane is saying, and "I prefer not to travel, if I don't have a chance of playing". Zidane has made it clear to Bale he's not getting selected, so why would you want to travel (especially in this covid era where everyone is cautious) to just sit on the bench.Zidane is saying 'prefer not to play' and that 'the rest of the conversation is between me and him'..........Reading the article and then reading between the lines, I feel It's a fair bet to assume Zidane told him he wouldn't be involved and Bale responded by saying if that's the case then i'd rather not go. He's hardly been playing so how come this time it's 'prefer not to play'?
Complete guess, but it really wouldn't surprise me if Zidane wasbullshittingbeing a tad devious. Again.
