JAKARTA - After missing the El Clasico party by only sitting on the bench, Gareth Bale was also ignored by Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane in the match against Real Betis.
Not playing a minute against Barcelona, and not a minute at the Estadio Benito Villamarin. The No.11 is more of a substitute than anyone, and the situation is looking increasingly difficult.
After recording 15 minutes against Manchester City in the Champions League, Bale automatically disappears. Not only did Vinicius Junior beat him in the starting XI following Eden Hazard's injury, but Zidane also preferred Lucas Vazquez to replace him against Betis.
Zidane even preferred to play Mariano in the dying minutes against Barcelona in El Clasico, and then it happened again in the match against Betis.
Substitution at El Clasico and Villamarin again confirmed that something had happened again with Bale, and this time it seemed even more difficult for the Welshman to deal with.
In the middle of his worst season at Real Madrid, Bale bagged just three goals in 18 games played. And Zidane has stopped turning his attention to the former Tottenham Hotspur man.
On previous occasions he had been given opportunities by Zidane, where the Frenchman gave him the opportunity to play. But it seemed the opportunity was over for Bale. He is now the last choice of Los Blancos' attacking line, even behind Mariano.
