Just when Real Madrid thought that their win today would steal all headlines, Welsh ace Gareth Bale returned to the Spanish capital and sparked quite an outrage for his attitude towards a young Los Blancos fan.
The Welsh footballer returned to the Spanish capital after a short trip to London, where he reportedly discussed his future with his agent Jonathan Barnett. Added to that, he also visited a physician to determine more accurately the extent of his current injury. Unfortunately for him, he was not alone when he returned to Spain, as journalists and fans were waiting for him to either catch a glimpse of him or to get a statement on the purpose of his trip.
Bale tried to dribble past all journalists just like he does on the pitch (whenever he's not injured), but he also chose to snub rather rudely a young Real Madrid fan, who repeatedly asked him for an autograph. At one point of the encounter, the kid's mother told Bale "Please, he really looks up to you."
Here's the moment where Bale decided to ignore the boy (Image might be geo-restricted).
"Gareth Bale refused to stop and give an autograph to a little boy when he arrived back into Barajas Airport in Madrid. What do you think about his attitude?"

Bale has been hinted to be looking for a way out of Real Madrid this winter, despite all claims by his agent and Los Blancos' coach Zinedine Zidane. Today, with Bale looking on from the stands, Real Madrid claimed an emphatic 5-0 win against Leganés to get back to winning ways in La Liga.
