Bale 'left Bernabeu' in 78th minute of Madrid's loss to Sociedad

07 Jan / autty

Real Madrid's 2-0 loss to Real Sociedad has produced many talking points and one of them will be the fact that the injured Gareth Bale didn't stay until the very end of the match.

The Welshman was watching from the stands of the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu after suffering an injury against Villarreal on Thursday night, but he departed in the 78th minute of Sunday's defeat to the Basque side.

It's unclear why the forward left early, but cameras for 'El Chiringuito' captured him departing when the score was still 1-0 and his teammates were pushing for a comeback.

Former Real Madrid player Edwin Congo explained that players not in the matchday squad during his time at the club were required to stay until the very end of matches, although this is no longer obligatory.

I wonder why he left at that time, no matter what happen, he is a Real Madrid player, he should have wait for at least 90 minutes. Even if he was in the field playing, Madrid Will still lose. So as a football player, you are to stay with your teammates no matter what happen. if All the fans also left the field by that time, Tell me how Real Madrid Will feel.

Staying till the end could have worsened his injury as the whistles were too loud for him

I think he left because when Ronaldo was passing by with his sports car he fell down and got a hamstring injury and he is gonna be out for 1-4 months
