MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro has defended team mate Gareth Bale after the Welshman was jeered by sections of the Bernabeu crowd during Wednesday's 3-0 win over APOEL Nicosia in the Champions League.

Despite laying on the opener for Cristiano Ronaldo with a pin-point cross, there were once again dissenting voices directed at Bale, who has scored just once for Madrid in six appearances so far this season.
