The relationship between Real Madrid attacker Gareth Bale and Los Blancos boss Zinedine Zidane is reportedly 'beyond repair'.

Earlier this month, Zidane insisted that he has a "good relationship" with the Wales international, who has only scored three times during a disappointing season.

Bale has been involved in two of Madrid's four La Liga matches since they resumed their season, but he has largely struggled to secure a starting role during the 2019-20 campaign.

According to ESPN, the relationship between Bale and Zidane is 'worse than ever', with the experienced attacker unhappy that he is continually named as a substitute in big matches.

The former Southampton youngster, who has scored twice and provided two assists in 16 La Liga appearances this season, has a contract at the Bernabeu until the summer of 2022.

Madrid will continue their 2019-20 La Liga season away to Espanyol on Sunday night.
