Star striker Diego Costa found the net 4 times while Joao Felix, Vitolo and Angel Correa scored the other 3. At one point of time Real Madrid found themselves 6 goals behind. However, they pulled in 3 goals to end the match at a somewhat respectable scoreline of 7-3.
Bale can’t stop smiling
Zinedine Zidane seemed flustered at the thrashing he received at the hands of Atletico. However, Bale seemed to not be fazed at all. Cameras caught the Welsh star smiling and laughing during various moments in the match.

Bale was substituted into the match with less than half an hour left in to the match. He was spotted smirking just before he was subbed in. Many fans seem to be enjoying the blatant show of defiance against a manager, he does not see eye to eye with.

I'm a fan of the photo of Bale laughing while 7-1 down. He contributed heavily to 2 UCL final wins (winning 1 singlehandedly), yet he's been abhorrently disrespected by Madrid. Get out while you can and make the most of the remaining prime years.

There were also some who felt that the claim was far-fetched and sensationalized by many.

Anything for drama, he wasn't laughing at him..
Terrible from Madrid, plus we are planning on getting Pogba now so wont get any better..
I'd just keep Bale & James.
Zidane needs to fix his crossing only/long balls attacking mindset..#RealMadrid pic.twitter.com/sZhAlBylLN— Choudhry_Emad (@ChoudhryEmad) July 27, 2019
