Video: Gareth Bale falls on his arse trying skill, much to the delight of Real Madrid teammates

Poor ol' Gareth

Gareth Bale got humbled by the force of gravity during a Real Madrid training session

The La Liga behemoths were doing a bog standard passing drill when the Welshman tried to kick things up a notch. Bale tried to complete an unnecessarily flamboyant skill move during the warm up when things went horribly south very quickly.

The former Tottenham player put a little bit too much weight on his trapping foot and had a very embarrassing fall. Bale fell flat on his rear-end and did an impressive backwards tumble before swiftly getting back to his feet.

Of course, his fellow teammates were very concerned about the sole Welshman at the Bernabeu. You can tell by the way that they’re all pointing at him with big goofy smiles washed over their faces that they were legitimately worried about his safety.
