Video: Gareth Bale portrayed as Forrest Gump on Spanish TV show 'Crackovia'

Bale likened to Forrest Gump

Real Madrid star Gareth Bale has been likened to film character Forrest Gump during the latest episode of Spanish television show Crackovia.

The Welshman, who moved to the Santiago Bernabeu from Tottenham Hotspur for a reported £85m in August, is not portrayed as the most intellectual of players during the skit.

The episode focuses on Madrid's preparations for this weekend's El Clasico against Barcelona, with Bale getting told off numerous times while boarding a plane and seeking advice from teammate Sergio Ramos.

The 24-year-old is also mocked for the injury woes that he has suffered since becoming the world's most expensive footballer.
