Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has denied showing disrespect to Gareth Bale, and claimed the Wales forward refused to come on as a substitute against Bayern Munich on Sunday.
Zidane has said Bale is “very close to leaving” the club and that his exit would be “best for everyone”.
Those comments led Bale’s agent Jonathan Barnett to complain Zidane had “no respect” for the 30-year-old.
“I haven’t shown a lack of respect towards anyone,” Zidane said.
“What I said the other day is that the club was working on Bale’s exit.
“I’ve always said the same thing: the players are the most important ones in all of this. Whenever there’s a player involved, I’ll always back them.”
