Gareth Bale spent an anonymous 85 minutes on the pitch for Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final against Juventus. The Spanish side lost the game 2-1.
In the post-match analysis Roy Keane cited Bale's lack of contribution as being a decisive factor in the defeat.
It's very difficult for Real Madrid to win a game like this when you're playing with 10 men. Gareth Bale gave them absolutely nothing tonight.
You say a lack of confidence from Bale but he kept making the easy decision. The reason he's at Real Madrid is to be brave and get at people. Every time he got at people, even on one v ones, he turned back. His team-mates can't be happy with him because he took the easy option every time.
Keane was also highly critical of Daniel Carvajal for his tackle on Carlos Tevez which resulted in the penalty kick that won the game for Juventus.
It's absolutely shocking. I'm angry with him and we're not even involved in it. I'm fuming. You go straight to him at the end of the game and say 'what are you doing?'. It's absolutely schoolboy stuff and it's cost them the game. You'd lynch him.
