Gareth Bale's relationship with Zinedine Zidane 'beyond repair'

The relationship between Real Madrid attacker Gareth Bale and Los Blancos boss Zinedine Zidane is reportedly 'beyond repair'.

Earlier this month, Zidane insisted that he has a "good relationship" with the Wales international, who has only scored three times during a disappointing season.

Bale has been involved in two of Madrid's four La Liga matches since they resumed their season, but he has largely struggled to secure a starting role during the 2019-20 campaign.

According to ESPN, the relationship between Bale and Zidane is 'worse than ever', with the experienced attacker unhappy that he is continually named as a substitute in big matches.

The former Southampton youngster, who has scored twice and provided two assists in 16 La Liga appearances this season, has a contract at the Bernabeu until the summer of 2022.

Madrid will continue their 2019-20 La Liga season away to Espanyol on Sunday night.
