GARETH BALE suffered an amazing snub from Zinedine Zidane after his Champions League wonder goal.
The Real Madrid boss did not speak to his match winner for over THREE HOURS after the 3-1 final win over Liverpool.

ZZ left Bale on the bench for an hour, with the Welshman netting his wonder goal 122 seconds after coming on.

But when he was asked if Zidane had said anything in the three hours after the final whistle in Kiev, Bale shook his head.
Asked to confirm whether Zidane had spoken, Bale gave a firm: “No.”
It illustrates the massive problem between the two, with Spanish midfielder Isco being preferred for the final.
Now it is up to Real president Florentino Perez to persuade Zidane they should keep the 28-year-old superstar.

Bale made his feelings clear when he said: “I should be playing week-in and week-out and I haven’t been.
“I’m going to sit down in the summer and seriously consider what move to make next.”
