It's a merciless place, the ol' social media world and Gareth Bale soon found out that there was no hiding place as another frustrating performance was met with scathing criticism. The Welsh man missed a number of massive chances this evening as the European champions, Real Madrid, crashed out of the Champions League with 1-1 second leg draw with Juventus. And, whilst Bale has found the Bernabeu crowd a fickle bunch anyway, he felt the full brunt force of a backlash this evening for another sub-par shift. https://twitter.com/Footballltrolls/status/598587836972019713 https://twitter.com/TFBible_/status/598587834967138304 https://twitter.com/Cheers_geoff/status/598587800301232129 https://twitter.com/GarethBale22/status/598586857094520832 https://twitter.com/meurig73/status/598590698913439747 https://twitter.com/BBCSporf/status/598590086951895040 https://twitter.com/Footy_Jokes/status/598587428358742016 https://twitter.com/XaviAssist/status/598589808345120769 https://twitter.com/MrFootyBanter/status/598589593152319489 https://twitter.com/RealBaedrid/status/598589350721359872 https://twitter.com/K_HughesMason/status/598589294874329088 https://twitter.com/FootbalIFights/status/598588462955106304 https://twitter.com/Mo_Nweiran/status/598588420647190528
