The ex-Liverpool and Wales striker admits he's struggling to understand why his compatriot has come in for so much criticism in the Spanish capital
Former Liverpool and Wales striker Ian Rush has admitted he is baffled by the way his fellow countryman Gareth Bale has been treated by Real Madrid’s fans.
His quotes came following a poll in Spanish newspaper AS earlier this week, which revealed that 91 per cent of those who took part want to see Bale exit the Bernabeu.
The Cardiff-born winger has also fallen dramatically out of favour under manager Zinedine Zidane, but Rush claims those in the stands should be applauding the 29-year-old, not heaping criticism on him.
