At the weekend Los Blancos lost their first match since September,
going down 2-1 to Valencia. It was a result that brought an end to a
stunning 22-match winning streak.
With the score at 1-1, Bale had a
fantastic opportunity to put Real Madrid back in front having just seen
Atonio Barragan equalise Ronaldo's opener from the penalty spot. But
with the Wales international bearing down on goal, he opted to continue
alone rather than make a simple pass across goal for the unmarked
Benzema. A brilliant tackle from Nicolas Otamendi meant the chance went
begging and to compound Bale's selfish decision making, minutes later
Otamendi went down the other end and put Valencia in front.

Benzema and Ronaldo were pictured during the match showing their
frustration and Spanish newspaper Marca report that they are yet to
forgive Bale.
"The Real Madrid dressing room have not yet forgiven
Gareth Bale for his monumental miss at Mestalla and are still angry
with the Welshman," writes J. I. Garcia-Ochoa.
He added: "The Real
Madrid players are not angry with Bale for not scoring, but for the
decision he made. However, Ronaldo also missed an absolute sitter for
Real Madrid and nobody said anything to him."
Video footage of the incident and aftermath shows the anger among Bale's team-mates...
