Gareth Bale posted a tweet in which he slammed a Spanish publication for calling him a 'Parasite'.
Real Madrid forward and Wales captain Gareth Bale has hit back at Spanish publication Marca for a column which described him as a "parasite". The three-time Champions League winner slammed the media publication after scoring a brace for Wales against Austria. He expressed that the social media and press give too much pressure on athletes to perform consistently.
Bale has been criticised in Madrid, as it has been perceived that he is more committed to playing for the Wales national team than for his club side and Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid. He also helped his country reaching the EURO semi-finals in 2016.

"At a time where people are taking their own lives because of the relentlessness and the callousness of the media, I want to know [just] who is holding these journalists and the news outlets that allow them to write articles like this accountable?"
