They've been far better without him.

I hope for his sake he is a sub otherwise the worlds media and football fans will go after him if they fail.

He's gotten off pretty lightly really. I can remember a while ago complaining that ronaldo got given a new 5 year deal as it'd mean bale was in the shade when he could have become the big dog in madrid.....Bale has 4 goals this year or something stupid
I think its more than that but in his defence its been an injury hit season for him. Up until his first injury of the season he was playing well.

If he had any chance of starting the final I think he would have been on the bench last night and got some minutes.
