Bale's unhappy reaction sends alarm bells ringing at Real Madrid

Bale doesn't feel part of the current dressing room following his teammate's recent criticism, and shrugged off Lucas Vazquez after his winning goal against Levante

Gareth Bale's gesture towards Lucas Vazquez after he scored the winning goal against Levante only confirmed what was already known: everything isn't well in the Real Madrid dressing room. Bale, who barely speaks with his teammates, had publicly shown his unhappiness when he refused to celebrate his crucial goal alongside Vazquez.

The fact Bale has been a substitute coupled with certain teammates exposing his lifestyle habits has angered the Welshman. The only person who continues to back him at the club is Florentino Perez. Inside the dressing room, Bale keeps himself to himself. And he's apparently more concerned with his life away from the sport than improving his relationship with the squad.

According to Cadena SER, Bale felt awful after Marcelo and Courtois both spoke about his private life. They mentioned that Bale only speaks English and is passionate about golf. The fact the Welsh forward has been a substitute, and to young Vinicius Jr no less, only further fueled the fire. He was visibly upset when Vazquez tried to celebrate with him.

The very public reaction was planned by Bale. He clearly feels undervalued and mistreated. This all started when Bale failed to attend a team dinner because he felt eleven o clock at night was far too late to eat.
