Bale's latest act of rebellion poses new problem for Zidane

Zinedine Zidane faces another crossroads in his handling of Gareth Bale, who appeared to mock Real Madrid after Wales' 2-0 victory over Hungary on Tuesday.

After sealing qualification for Euro 2020 with a wild win in Cardiff, an ecstatic Bale celebrated next to his team-mates behind a flag that read "Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order".

The flag was taken from the crowd after Welsh fans made a slogan out of comments made by former Real Madrid player Predrag Mijatovic during an interview with the Spanish radio station Cadena Ser last month.

"Bale thinks first about the Wales national team, then about golf and then about Madrid," said Mijatovic.

"I have not talked to him but that is the impression I get."

"Especially some of the pictures and stuff my friends send me. On one it said 'triple bogey' - and I've never had a triple bogey. At least give me an albatross."
"With Wales, I'm speaking my own language and feel more comfortable. But it doesn't change what I do on the pitch."
