The 32-year-old had made only four previous league appearances for Real this season -- all away -- and his last outing at the club's home ground had been in February 2020 when Madrid were beaten 2-1 by Manchester City in the Champions League.

"Yes, Bale was booed but he is a serious professional, he is doing well in training and if necessary he will play this final stretch of the season. The fans have to understand that."
He was also accused by Madrid media of faking a back injury after he missed Real Madrid's 4-0 defeat by Barcelona but then showed up for his country just four days later to score two goals as Wales beat Austria in a World Cup playoff game.
