Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has revealed that Gareth Bale and Toni Kroos opted not to join their team-mates for a recent squad dinner, with the former's love of golf earning him a nickname in the dressing room.
Courtois spoke to Belgian outlet HLN (h/t the Mirror's Simon Mullock), and said that whereas Brazilian Marcelo is known as "Samba," captain Sergio Ramos is "a leader" and Ballon d'Or winner Luka Modric is "a genius," Bale is known as "the golfer."
"It is very hard to describe Gareth in one word," he added.
