Head coach Zinedine Zidane hopes Real Madrid fans will not give Gareth Bale a hard time for too long.

Bale had been criticised in Spain after being pictured celebrating Wales’ Euro 2020 qualification victory over Hungary in midweek with a flag which read “Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order”.

The Wales forward came off the bench to a chorus of jeers before helping Real Madrid seal a 3-1 win over Real Sociedad at the Bernabeu.

Bale was sent on for the closing stages with whistles ringing in his ears, following the latest country versus club row during the international break.

Zidane, though, called for a sense of perspective after the forward produced a determined display, Real Madrid recovering from a terrible start when Willian Jose punished a poor defensive backpass from captain Sergio Ramos.
