The most expensive footballer on the planet degraded with a typical Twitter slaughtering.
It’s a merciless place, the ol’ social media world and Gareth Bale soon found out that there was no hiding place as another frustrating performance was met with scathing criticism.
The Welsh man missed a number of massive chances this evening as the European champions, Real Madrid, crashed out of the Champions League with 1-1 second leg draw with Juventus.
And, whilst Bale has found the Bernabeu crowd a fickle bunch anyway, he felt the full brunt force of a backlash this evening for another sub-par shift.
