Sources claim Bale asked Zidane not to be called up

This Sunday, Madrid will bid LaLiga farewell with honours, a championship they won just three days ago against Villarreal.

And all eyes have been set on Gareth Bale, who has not called up for the clash.

The tension between Zidane and the player continues, but it seems that this time it was the player who did not want to be on the list, as reported by 'El Transistor'.

The journalist Edu Pidal points out that the Welshman asked Zidane to stay out, just like James against Athletic, and that's why the Frenchman chose not to call him for the match in Butarque.

The newspaper 'AS' contacted the environment of the footballer, who didn't speak out about his absence in the squad list.

However, Real Madrid did speak. The newspaper from Madrid said that Bale was out of the list due to a technical decision.

What is clear is that the 'Cardiff Express' has not played a single minute in the last six games and we will have to see what happens against City in the Champions League. 

After his mysterious disappearance against Villarreal, now this. The future of the Welshman in Real Madrid is getting even more complicated.
