Gareth Bale cuts a frustrated figure at the moment and his actions after Real Madrid secured a place in the quarter-final of the Champions League might just indicate his current state of mind.
The Welsh winger was left on the bench to face Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night - a decision that surprised many.
Zinedine Zidane decided to play Lucas Vazquez and Marco Asensio against the Ligue 1 giants - but the pair impressed in large spells.

Bale did, however, get his chance to prove himself in the 68th when he came on for Karim Benzema.
He didn't exactly put his trademark stamp on the game in the final 15 minutes and his actions after the match has unsurprisingly sparked plenty of reaction.

Spanish publication AS have revealed that Bale isn't happy with his current 'bit-part' role for Los Blancos and while his teammates applauded the away fans after the game, the 28-year-old walked straight down the tunnel to the changing room.
The report goes on to suggest that this incident is another indication of his disconnect with the first team squad.
In the following clip posted on Real Madrid's Youtube channel, you don't see Bale interact with teammates as the likes of Toni Kroos, Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo rally the troops.
