Spanish sport front pages Thursday 21 November 2019Real Madrid striker Gareth Bale has received heavy criticism in the Spanish media after celebrating Wales Euro 2020 qualification with a contentious flag. The AS newspaper ran "Bale gets in a hole", in a jibe at his love of golf. Bale has not featured for Real since 5 October but returned to play for Wales. His return for international duty with Wales for crucial wins against Azerbaijan and Hungary was dubbed by the Spanish media as the 'Miracle in Wales'. One former Real player turned media analyst, Pedja Mijatovic, recently said of Bale: "The first thing he thinks about is Wales, then golf and after that, Real Madrid."
