The Spanish press have layed into Gareth Bale after his performance for Real Madrid as they lost to Schalke in the Champions League this week, according to BBC Sport.

The Wales international, who has been strongly linked with a move to Manchester United, has been the subject of much criticism this season for a dip in his overall form and for a lack of effort.
One of Bale’s team-mates anonymously hit out at the 25-year-old for not doing his defensive work, while Spanish newspaper Marca also claim he has made little effort to integrate off the pitch since his move to Madrid a year and half ago.
Whether or not these claims are all completely true, this attempted character assassination of Bale could surely lead to the former Tottenham Hotspur man returning to the Premier League this summer.
