Carlo Ancelotti addresses Gareth Bale boos in Real Madrid win

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti said that "togetherness between the fans and the players is important" in response to the boos aimed at Gareth Bale on Saturday night.

The Wales international was introduced in the 74th minute of Real Madrid's 2-0 win over Getafe, and his substitution was booed by a large section of the home supporters at Bernabeu.

The 32-year-old will leave Los Blancos on a free transfer at the end of the season, but he has now been involved in the team's last two matches, having also appeared off the bench against Chelsea in the Champions League last week.

Ancelotti has said that Bale, who has had a number of injury problems during his time in Madrid, "is doing well and is keen to play", and the Italian has called for unity "between the fans and the players".

"Bale is doing well and is keen to play. Togetherness between the fans and the players is important right now," Ancelotti told reporters.

The Welshman has scored 106 goals and registered 67 assists in 258 appearances for Real Madrid since arriving from Tottenham Hotspur in September 2013.

Arsenal are allegedly weighing up a summer approach for the former Southampton youngster.
