Gareth Bale's reaction to Real Madrid team-mates dressing room celebrations spotted

Gareth Bale ’s isolation at Real Madrid has been captured in footage from inside the dressing room after the club’s huge comeback win over Sevilla on Sunday.

Real came from 2-0 down at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium to win 3-2 and move 15 points clear of rivals Barcelona at the top of La Liga. Ivan Rakitic’s free-kick and Erik Lamela’s tap-in put Sevilla two goals up after just 25 minutes and stun the champions-elect.

But substitute Rodrygo turned in after the break to halve the deficit and set up a dramatic finish. Real controversially had a Vinicius Jr goal ruled out by VAR for a handball, but it did not matter, with Nacho scoring with his first touch after coming on to make it 2-2 before Karim Benzema smashed in the winner in the 92nd minute.

Victory was a major step on Real’s path to winning La Liga, with just six games remaining. Carlo Ancelotti’s side were understandably delighted with their dramatic comeback in Andalucia and footage from the club’s Twitter account showed the players returning to the dressing room to celebrate.

In it the players can be seen cheering, congratulating themselves, shouting “vamos!” and generally enjoying themselves. But there is one player who is not involved: Bale.

The Welshman cuts an awkward figure in the corner of the changing room. While all his team-mates and the coaching staff jump around singing, high-fiving and hugging, Bale is seen standing motionless, refusing to join in.

As has often been the case this season, Bale did not get onto the pitch against Sevilla. He was an unused substitute, watching as Rodrygo, Nacho, Marco Asensio and Mariano Diaz were all called onto the pitch by Ancelotti ahead of him.

The 32-year-old has made just seven appearances in all
