Tottenham loanee Gareth Bale has defended Real Madrid teammate Eden Hazard.
Bale has defended Hazard for laughing after Real's recent Champions League exit at the hands of Chelsea.
The Belgian was labelled a 'disgrace' by fans of the Spanish club, while El Chiringuito pundits blasted that he should be sold.
But Bale, who himself has been a pantomime villain in Madrid, has come to the defence of Hazard, insisting that it's 'just a game of football'.
Referencing the now-infamous El Chiringuito clips, Bale, 31, told The Times Magazine: "I've seen it.
"It was literally as if he'd just murdered everybody. It's a game of football at the end of the day."
