Keane slates Bale: Real Madrid had 10 men against Juventus

The former Manchester United captain was not impressed by the Welshman's contribution during Los Blancos' Champions League defeat at Juventus Stadium

Roy Keane lashed out at Gareth Bale following his ineffective performance against Juventus and claimedReal Madrid were playing with "10 men" in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.

Bale was restored to the starting line-up after three weeks out with a calf injury but made little impact as goals from Alvaro Morata and Carlos Tevez, the latter from the penalty spot, either side of a Cristiano Ronaldo goal handed Juve a 2-1 advantage.

Bale was eventually replaced by Jese Rodriguez with four minutes to go but former Manchester United captain Keane was surprised he lasted that long.

He told ITV: "It was difficult for Madrid to play with 10 men. Gareth Bale gave them nothing. There was a lack of confidence, he kept making the easy decision. His team-mates can't be happy with him. He took the easy option every time."

Keane's fellow pundit, and another former United man Paul Scholes, was equally unimpressed. He said: "He [Bale] wasn't great tonight. He needs to be better as he wasn't good enough."

It wasn't just Bale who earned the wrath of Keane with Dani Carvajal also criticised for the needless challenge on Tevez which handed the Argentine the chance to grab the winner from the spot.

Keane added: "I'm angry with him and I'm not even involved. It was schoolboy stuff, they should lynch him."

Madrid were sloppy all night with Scholes singling out Sergio Ramos, again playing in an unfamiliar midfield role, as another weak link.

The former England international said: "I'd probably say [Madrid had] nine men with Ramos as well. It was a real lack of quality in there from him.

"Every time he got the ball he gave it away, he was giving the ball to the other team, he was hitting the ball out of play. [Luka] Modric was a big miss for them."
