Let's kidnap him until the end of the season. The risk of ZZ starting him over Isco is simply too great. It'd be literally the stupidest football decision of all time, and that includes playing Costa injured and hiring Maradona to coach Argentina

Fuxk it. We might as well just get rid of the medical team if these guys are going to self diagnose themselves whenever they feel like it. Zidane should be listening to them and not the damn players. You have a medical team for a damn reason
I think we must keep Bale and work to get the best out of him. We all know what an in-form Bale can do in the right tactical set up for his game. I think one of the big challenges ahead for Zidane is find a way to make Ronaldo, Isco, Bale play together effectively....age is still on his side. Let's keep this ridiculously good squad depth.... if anyone has to be sold out of the BBC....it's going to have to be Karim.
Which is what exactly, letting him roam wherever whenever he pleases , in a squad that also includes , Ronaldo, Isco, Asensio, Modric, Kroos and who knows who else next season, this is not Wales or Spurs, this is Madrid, oh well some are still waiting, waiting and hoping while most likely James and Morata disappear
The whole squad has travelled. The only pitch time he'll see is when he's celebrating (hopefully, fingers, toes and balls crossed) with the rest of the squad.
If he lost a lot of muscle, hopefully that'll benefit him (and us) - we've seen what it did for Ronnie. Hopefully Bale next season comes back stronger.
. . if you mean coming back stronger and put this team on is shoulder then don't set your hopes too high. He will never be CR , neither a leader ... just a speedy winger who's missing his best days of his football sidelined ...
Knew he would be back for the last game dont be surprised if he gets some mins 2mro then he has another 2 weeks to prepare which zidane will says hes ready to play the final and isco will be out .
Leaving Isco out of the final is a big ******** you to him. Especially when you aren't even outplayed by a player, he just gets back from his injury and immediately replaces you. Bale doesn't even come near Isco as a footballer, REAL big ******** yu
Darn it. I knew he would be ready by CL final. And I am not even gonna be surprised if he replaces Isco in the CL final.
He will be ending his career here if he forces himself into the staying Xl and plays shit like he had been doing. The amount of shit he will take for that? He doesn't have the mentality to resist or withstand that tsunami.
. Scoring is different than leading. Don't get me wrong, I am not questioning his footballing ability but leading require Continuity, ego and persistence and if you don't have these then you can't lead the pack . Bale does not have any of these characteristics or yet have showcased it , other than that scoring a couple of wining goals won't buy you a hot-dog at the bernabeu believe me , if CR can get booed then no one else is safe ...
Ummmm. Who says he's recovered or is match fit? I'm not aware that he's practiced with the team even for a minute. The whole squad has travelled. That's normal for title deciding away games as everyone wants to be part of the event.
People are just ready to shit on him regardless. It's kinda silly. If anyone is to blame for Bale playing when he shouldn't it's Zidane. Of course Bale wants to play, like every other player in the squad. The coach has to have the cajones to omit any player not playing up to standards or not fit, like Bale. People semi-hoping he gets/stays hurt are weak sauce.
His injury has been a blessing for us and Zidane. I wouldn't have so much trust in these last games with him in the line up..
