Gareth Bale has revealed that a back spasm meant he was unable to celebrate his final La Liga title with Real Madrid.
The Welshman moved to the Bernabeu in a blockbuster deal in 2013 and has since won a string of major honours, including four Champions Leagues and now three domestic league titles. However, his input on that third and final triumph has been severely limited, having played just five times all season - scoring one goal.
Bale will become a free agent at the end of the season and it has already been confirmed he will be moving on at the expiration of his current contract. "Bale deserves a grand farewell from the club. And no, we have not yet decided on the future," his agent Jonathan Barnett said.
