Gareth Bale looked like he was the subject of some light hazing on the Real Madrid training ground, as Cristiano Ronaldo went in for a heavy two-footed challenge during a friendly kickabout – but was then promptly put in his place after the former Spurs man nutmegged him.
Bale, who is recovering from an injured ankle, might have inspired some bitterness in the Portuguese star after stealing his title as the world’s most expensive player, after Madrid paid out £86million to Tottenham to secure the talents of the Welshman. Ronaldo lunged towards the La Liga newcomer’s legs in what was Bale’s third training session for the club, almost knocking him over.
However, Bale retained the ball, and then added insult to injury by nutmegging the former Manchester United player, which was met with laughter from their teammates.
