Not all that glitters is gold. Despite the fact Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo always maintained a cordial relationship during their time as Real Madrid players, the Welshman has not been afraid to speak out about the Portuguese's behaviour in the dressing room after his retirement.
"We always had a good relationship, although he had his moments. For example, if we won a match 5-0 and he hadn't scored, he would go into the dressing room and throw his boots as if he was angry. It's like if you win the Ryder Cup and you get angry because you haven't scored a point," said Bale, always comparing it to the world of golf.
The interview was conducted on Martin Borgmeier's YouTube channel during the BMW International Open Pro-Am golf tournament. It is worth remembering that the world of golf is Bale's great passion, immortalised in the famous flag: "Wales-Golf-Madrid, in that order."
Despite the criticism, already known for his self-centredness, Bale also acknowledged that whenever Cristiano won the Ballon d'Or, he went into the dressing room to thank the team for allowing him to win the prize.

Always selfish... He proved it many times....he runs for the fame,for the praise...his team won but he is not satisfied because he didn't score...Pure selfish...now his teammates are speaking the truth...He can't be one of the greatest...He is not among those greatest who were also mentally great.They were gentle,they were generous as a man kind.

I don't really see it as a bad thing, his job always was to score goals, he did over a goal per game for 9 years. Ronaldo didn't get to become one of the very best by simply being ok with a good score. He wanted to see his name in the book. He was ok with the team winning because it's what Madrid does, but he wasn't ok with the fact his name wasn't one to put one between the posts, and before someone says anything, don't forget Ronaldo holds the 2nd highest assist record of Real Madrid, just behind Benzema

I am only good at runner!“ 😂😂🤣🤣🤣 I had a really good time with you guys and I'm proud to be able to tell my kids one day that Ronaldinho made a cross for me, and I got the ball in my face!” Hilarious 😂
