Which other Real Madrid stars have been whistled by the Bernabeu? Real Madrid From Di Stefano to Casillas to Bale

Gareth Bale was the subject of whistles and boos during Saturday night's Real Madrid match, but he isn't the first home player who has been jeered at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

Even all-time legends like Alfredo di Stefano and Cristiano Ronaldo have been criticised by the crowd on occasion.

Here, we take a look at some of the high-profile names to face the audible scrutiny of the Real Madrid fanbase.

Alfredo di Stefano

Ahead of Christmas in 1962, Di Stefano appeared in an advert in which his bottom half was that of a woman.

"If I were my wife, I'd wear Berkshire," the caption read.

It didn't go down well with the Real Madrid fans in that period of history and the player was whistled and booed at his next home match, on January 6, 1963.

But the striker scored two of the three goals in a 3-2 victory over Athletic Club to silence most of his critics.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Despite being the club's record goalscorer, Ronaldo had a few moments of tension with the crowd.

He publicly complained about the whistles he was receiving during the 2016/17 season and Zinedine Zidane had to come out in defence of the No.7, reminding the Portuguese that he too was jeered on occasion.

"This never happened in Manchester and I don't like it," Ronaldo once said of the tendency of the Bernabeu crowd to express their upset.

Iker Casillas

Iker Casillas' final days at Real Madrid were complicated and the goalkeeper was going through a period of poor form.

Whistled by some in the stadium, he muttered about it and this was caught on TV.

"Shove the whistles up your backside," he was seen saying in frustration during a match against Valencia on May 9, 2015.

Michel

With Michel such a Real Madrid fan, the whistles he once received really hurt him.

Towards the end of the 1988/89 season, he cracked and walked off.

"It's like if your father scolds you every day and even on your wedding day," he told Cadena SER.

Michel got over that episode, but was heavily jeered again in 1991 in a match against Spartak Moscow.

Juanito

Few players are loved as much as Juanito by the Real Madrid fans, but he too was scolded on occasion.

He had an interesting view on the whistles, though, preferring them to nothing.

"They hurt, but maybe it's better than silence," he said in late 1981.

"The day the fans shut up completely if I make a mistake, that would really sink me."

Emilio Butragueno

Butragueno is now a director at Real Madrid and defended Bale on Saturday night, but he too was the victim of the Bernabeu's ire in 1994 in a match against Dinamo Moscow.

Jorge Valdano was the coach and strongly defended the club legend after that match.

The others

There are many more who have been on the receiving end of the whistles and boos as well, including Manuel Velazquez, Martin Vazquez, Fernando Hierro, Guti, Hugo Sanchez, Karim Benzema and Kaka.
