Cristiano Ronaldo has leapt to the defence of Real Madrid team-mate Gareth Bale, after the Wales star was criticized by their supporters at the weekend. Real fans slated Bale for failing to play in Ronaldo for an open goal in their 3-0 win at home to Espanyol on Saturday night.
The incident came in the second half of the La Liga clash at the Santiago Bernabeu when the 24-year-old raced down the right flank and failed to play in Ronaldo - who was charging through the centre.
The Portuguese star reacted furiously shouting 'puta' (f***) and some supporters inside the stadium jeered Bale for having shot wide and ignoring Ronaldo. ‘What’s happened on Saturday is in the past. Sometimes I commit some mistakes too, so it’s part of the business, it is part of football so I think fans will be nice to him and they should be nice to him.
‘He’s a key player, very important for Real Madrid and we’re going to need him this year again.’
