Real Madrid player wages: How much do Bale, Hazard, Benzema and Modric earn?

Gareth Bale was the subject of a scathing and appalling attack by Spanish newspaper Marca on Thursday.

The Welshman was branded a ‘parasite’ by the Spanish outlet, who were upset that Bale was collecting his wages from Real Madrid for very little productivity.

The article prompted a strong response by Bale.

After scoring twice for Wales in their World Cup playoff on Thursday evening, he said ‘they should be ashamed.’

He also posted a powerful statement on Friday where he called out Marca.
