Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro has defended Gareth Bale against the Santiago Bernabeu boo-boys who jeered him again at the weekend when he came on as a second half substitute.
‘I don't like it when they boo Bale, he’s a historic player for Real Madrid,' he said. 'When they boo Bale they boo the history of the club.’
Bale was making his first appearance of the season at the Bernabeu on Saturday and could feature off the bench as Real Madrid look to make it into the semi-finals at Chelsea’s expense.

Due to the Covid pandemic and reconstruction of the stadium, Bale last played at the Bernabeu in February 2020, in a Champions League Round of 16 tie against Manchester City.
