Casemiro has encouraged Real Madrid fans to stop booing Gareth Bale, citing the Welshman\u2019s importance to the club\u2019s history to defend him.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, Bale came on as a substitute against Getafe and was booed as he walked onto the Bernabeu ground. It was his seventh appearance in the league for Los Blancos this season, and his first at the stadium since February 2020.<\/p>\n
ESPN <\/em>reported, \u201cWhen you whistle one player, you whistle all of us,\u201d Casemiro stated before Real\u2019s second leg against Chelsea in the Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday. Everyone has an opinion in football, but when a player on my team is whistled, I don\u2019t agree. We\u2019re all on the same team and must support him.\u201d<\/p>\n Bale smiled as he faced the jeers of Real\u2019s supporters, leading his team to a win that moved them closer to winning La Liga.<\/p>\n Manager Carlo Ancelotti claimed the fans\u2019 boos were \u201cunderstandable\u201d after the game, but commended Bale for his professionalism. In the UCL tie, Real leads Chelsea 3-1, with star striker Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior likely to lead the line. Bale is not likely to feature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Casemiro of Real Madrid is not happy with the club\u2019s fans for booing Gareth Bale. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":437,"featured_media":33966,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[2614,1447,2478],"class_list":["post-11496","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-casemiro","tag-gareth-bale","tag-real-madrid-cf"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11496","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/437"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11496"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11496\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11496"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11496"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11496"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
