Why was Gareth Bale booed when he left the Real Madrid hotel in Canada

Gareth Bale had a heated relationship with Real Madrid fans – and angered some of their foreign fans during their pre-season tour of Canada.

The Welsh was booed by some supporters as he was gathering in front of the Real Madrid team's hotel in Montreal to spot the players as they boarded the bus from the ################################################################################# 39, team to train.

In a video shared by Marca, Bale upset them by not interacting or signing autographs. Instead, he keeps his helmet on and looks down, pushing the disappointed supporters to boo him.

This is not the first time he is booed by Real Madrid fans after receiving a hostile welcome on their training ground in the Spanish capital when he returns for the start of the campaign.

Bale has been badociated with an exit from Real Madrid this summer but remains reluctant to leave the Bernabeu.

His salary remains a stumbling block as they seek to unburden him and he is believed reluctant to accept a pay cut.

He was linked to a major money transfer to China while reports in Spain claimed on Monday that Tottenham had inquired to hand him a return.

But his agent, Jonathan Barnett cast contempt for the reported Tottenham interest, saying talkSPORT: "I do not comment on garbage."

Bale flattered to disappoint during Real Madrid's disappointing campaign last season.

He has scored only 14 goals in 42 appearances and does not appear to be a major element of Zinedine Zidane's plans as he seeks to rebuild himself.

But a shortage of potential contenders means he's increasingly likely to stay put and try to prove that he still has a role to play for the giants of La Liga.
