Gareth Bale's recent performances have "annoyed" Real Madrid fans and Predrag Mijatovic believes the Copa del Rey Clasico on Wednesday could be his "last chance".
Welsh international Wale missed three weeks earlier this year due to a calf injury, but scored a goal as a substitute in the 4-2 win over Espanyol on Jan. 27.
He was still on the winning bench in the Copa win last week on Girona, but was replaced after 63 minutes of excess when he returned to the starting lineup for the 3-0 win over Sunday on the Deportivo Alaves.
With teenage winger Vinicius Junior achieving strong performances – including a goal against Alaves -, Mijatovic believes Bale could find himself helpless against Santiago Solari, especially since he failed to impress Barca at Camp Nou in the semifinals go.
"Someone must defend and Lucas [Vazquez] knows how to spot and help. On the left, Vinicius plays well and Bale has his problems, "Mijatovic told El Larguero about Cadena SER.
"If he [Solari] Bale plays, it's his last chance. We are all annoyed by his game. Vinicius plays better with Bernabeu.
"Barcelona have tremendous offensive power and are able to score three goals in five minutes. [in LaLiga]they are in the Champions League and Copa.
"It's a two-legged eliminator, we have to go out and get a good result and take it into account no matter how it ends, if you get a good result, the Barca can also win at the Bernabeu."

Lionel Messi was integrated into the Barca team despite an injury during his 2-2 draw against Valencia on Saturday, but Mijatovic doubted that any risks would be taken with the winner of the Ball. Gold five times.
"He is a key player and he knows himself, he will tell him [Ernesto Valverde] if he can start and if there is a risk he will be on the bench. With Messi's experience, I do not think he's stupid enough to take the risk, "he added.
