Bale whistled after three minutes against Eibar Real Madrid Relationship with fans fading

Gareth Bale has become increasingly unpopular at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in recent months but his relationship with the home crowd hit a new low on Saturday.

Having failed to find any consistency for Real Madrid this season, the Welshman has been heckled by Los Blancos fans on various occasions.

During Madrid's game with Eibar on Saturday, Bale was whistled by supporters within three minutes of the start when he miscontrolled a ball and let it go out of play.

The whistles soon became more scolding two minutes later when the forward missed a one-on-one with Eibar's Marko Dmitrovic, shooting straight at the goalkeeper.

Despite the hostile reception his player was receiving, Zinedine Zidane offered his support from the sidelines with claps of encouragement.

It's reached the point now where every little mistake that Madrid's record signing makes is pounced upon by the club's fans and it seems like there's no way back to the Bernabeu's heart for Bale.
