'No hatred between Bale and Ronaldo

There is no hatred or resentment between Real Madrid pair Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo, according to the Wales star's agent, Jonathan Barnett.

Bale came in for criticism from Madrid fans last season, but Barnett insists the former Tottenham star will not be driven out of Spain.

“They don’t go out eating every night together, but it’s fine," Barnett told the Guardian. "There’s no hatred there.

"Gareth is a quiet guy. They’re complete opposites. But I think Gareth can learn a little bit from Ronaldo as well, interacting maybe a little bit. But he wants his own life and he lives it.

"Gareth is a great footballer, he doesn’t want anything more. He has some very good endorsements but his whole life is to be the best footballer in the world. I don’t think he wants to be the best model in the world or the best underwear seller. That’s not him.”
