Bale was booed by Real Madrid fans in Real Sociedad clash, but he isn't the first home player who has been jeered at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Even all-time legends like Di Stefano and Cristiano Ronaldo have been criticised by the crowd on occasion.
Here, we take a look at some of the high-profile names to face the audible scrutiny of the Real Madrid fanbase.
Di Stefano
Ahead of Christmas in 1962, Di Stefano appeared in an advert in which his bottom half was that of a woman.
"If I were my wife, I'd wear Berkshire," the caption read.
It didn't go down well with the Real Madrid fans in that period of history and the player was whistled and booed at his next home match, on January 6, 1963.
But the striker scored two of the three goals in a 3-2 victory over Athletic Club to silence most of his critics.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Despite being the club's record goalscorer, Ronaldo had a few moments of tension with the crowd.
He publicly complained about the whistles he was receiving during the 2016/17 season and Zinedine Zidane had to come out in defence of the No.7, reminding the Portuguese that he too was jeered on occasion.
"This never happened in Manchester and I don't like it," Ronaldo once said of the tendency of the Bernabeu crowd to express their upset.
Casillas
Iker Casillas' final days at Real Madrid were complicated and the goalkeeper was going through a period of poor form.
Whistled by some in the stadium, he muttered about it and this was caught on TV.
"Shove the whistles up your backside," he was seen saying in frustration during a match against Valencia on May 9, 2015.
Ronaldo
Ronaldo, no not Messi's 'arch-nemesis' but the Brazilian World Cup legend, signed for Real Madrid in 2002.
After three spectacular seasons where he scored 85 goals in all competitions, things started to turn sour between the former Inter Milan player and his fans, not that they were kind to him, to begin with.
The fans at the Bernabeu never let him forget that he, O Fenomeno, had won just one Spanish league title with the Los Blancos. When the Brazilian appeared to be putting on weight, they turned against the forward completely.
Ronaldo became visibly disinterested in his performances and concentrated more on parties after which the club sold him to AC Milan in January 2007.
Speaking ahead of a Champions League match with Arsenal in 2006, he said, "I have never felt loved at the Santiago Bernabéu and I don't understand why. I have never been treated with affection here.” He also added, “They make mistakes when they call me fat...”
Raul
While he was not quite a Galactico in the true sense, Raul was a crucial part of the early Galacticos era that became famous for their star status in the first half of the 2000s. Signed from rivals Atletico Madrid, Raul debuted for the club when he was just 17 and settled into a side that gradually welcomed the likes of Luis Figo, Ronaldo, David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane.
He won three Champions League trophies with the Meringues in 1998, 2000 and 2002 and became synonymous with the tournament itself.
He was the club’s highest scorer with 323 goals until Cristiano Ronaldo arrived on the scene, however, none of this deterred a large section of Madrid fans from booing him at the Bernabeu.
The Spanish forward was destined to end his career in the capital but the downfall of the Galacticos proved to be his death knell.
Fans began to see him as part of the problem that was plaguing the club and they did not hold back. Recently, Madrid fans were furious with the club legend on Twitter when he congratulated Messi for equalling his record of scoring against 35 different clubs in the La Liga.
Zidane
When Florentino Perez signed the Frenchman, he was already one of the best players in the world but remained a victim of Barcelona’s dominance in the 2000s during his spell at the club.
Zidane had a dream start to his stint at Madrid winning the Champions League in his very first season. He won just one other major trophy with the side, the league title, until his retirement in 2006.
When the trophies stopped, so did the fans'love for the midfielder. Chants of appreciation were replaced by boos and catcalls as Zizou slowed down and struggled to keep up with the increasingly fast and physical nature of the modern game.
In January, when fans were jeering their latest victim, Cristiano Ronaldo, Zidane explained, “I don't understand the jeers for Ronaldo but at the same time, I look at it and note that it even happened to me.”
