The successful penalty sealed a 2-1 win for Real Madrid at Levante's Ciutat de Valencia stadium on Sunday, but the scorer was in no mood to celebrate. Bale's "impertinence and arrogance" were not befitting of a Real Madrid player, he added. Cristiano Ronaldo's departure to Juventus was supposed to finally thrust Bale to the forefront at Real Madrid. Bale hoped his status would grow this season, but he has lost his place in the Real Madrid team altogether. Before the next step becomes a consideration, though, his challenge is to win back his place in the Real Madrid team and rebuild his status as best he can.
