GARETH BALE’S SECOND COMING as a Real Madrid player [after an injury lay-off] was in a 2 — 0 league win over Malaga.
The Welshman, recently insured for €91m by the Spanish side, came off the bench after 76 minutes and won his side a penalty. Racing into the box late in the game, Bale brushed off Malaga defender Wellington and hit the deck. It looked, for all the world, like a simple slip but the referee pointed to the spot.
Bale kept his head down, amid a din of finger-wagging, while Cristiano Ronaldo stepped up and dispatched the penalty. We tracked down new video footage that captures the Bale slip-up from several angles. Check it out:

It would be nice if u showed the incident
Once a diver,always a diver
Another week, another dodgy penalty call in favour of Real.
In fairness to him, he isn’t looking for the pen, before the ref gives it he’s trying to get back on his feet and is looking where the ball is.
So many idiots think it’s fashionable to call someone a diver.
Blame the ref here, not Bale.
Spot on Panch all I can see Bale battling for the ball gets knocked over and tries to get to his feet, can’t blame bale for what the Ref does!
Yup was more the refs mistake, bale wanted to do a fancy flick slipped and try to get back up not once looking at the ref for a pen
And where exactly is this “slip”?!!
New and improved video included now.
Yup, money well spent
Thankfully he wasn’t injured.
Same all same all
He literally just fell over. Ridiculous.
200 grand a week for that shite! Footballers these days make me sick..
300 g a week
he did not actually dive. not once there does he look for a penalty. infact he is looking for the ball and attempting tog et up and win back posession. Referee mucked up on this occasion. player cannot be blamed
Once a cheat always a cheat.
Nothing new there
Nice
Truly one of the football greats and worth the price tag….fart
Penalty…. all day long! I mean the guy has almost killed him
