Gareth Bale abused by Real Madrid fans AGAIN at Adidas launch event as Manchester United eye Welsh ace

GARETH BALE cannot escape the criticism of his Real Madrid hecklers - even outside of the Bernabeu.

The Welshman was jeered for the second game in a row during his side's Champions League victory over Apoel Nicosia on Wednesday.

Ex-Tottenham man Bale will have been hoping for a nicer atmosphere as he attended an Adidas marketing event in the Spanish capital.

But according to AS, he was on the receiving end of abuse again.

As he carried out his promotional duties part of the crowd began whistling and yelling at him to speak in Spanish.

The 28-year-old is wanted by Manchester United and the constant booing may end up driving him out of Madrid.

Brazilian team-mate Casemiro jumped to his defence yesterday and lent Bale his support.

Casemiro said: “You can see that Bale is working.

“He wants to score goals and he’s fighting to always help Real Madrid.”

Bale became a firm favourite with crowd following his move from the Premier League back in 2013.

A wonder goal against bitter rivals Barcelona in the final of the Cope del Rey and his strike in the Champions League final against Atletico Madrid ensured he won over the fierce followers of the club in his first season.
