LaLiga: Why I didn’t celebrate title with Real Madrid – Gareth Bale

Gareth Bale has explained why he was unable to attend Real Madrid’s La Liga victory celebrations on Saturday.

The Welshman stated that he was unable to attend the celebrations due to a ‘back spasm.’

The former Tottenham Hotspur winger was the only member of the first-team squad who was not there as the Galacticos celebrated their 35th league triumph in the Spanish capital.

The Wales international has not played a key role for Real Madrid this season, with fans booing him at every opportunity.

The 32-year-old’s made just seven appearances across all competitions and he’s set to leave the Bernabeu at the end of the season when his contract expires.

There were speculations among supporters of the club that his absence from the title celebrations was down to a disinterest in the club, with Bale often accused of not caring about football.

But the winger has dismissed those claims, insisting that he was gutted to miss the celebrations because of a back problem.

‘So disappointed that I’m not able to be part of the celebrations this evening due to a bad back spasm but really proud of the team for winning the title,’ said Bale on Twitter.

‘Enjoy tonight boys!’
