MADRID (Reuters) - Gareth Bale's troubled second season at Real Madrid hit a fresh low with a poor performance in Tuesday's Champions League defeat at Juventus but the Wales winger has a chance to silence his critics in Saturday's La Liga clash at home to Valencia.
Bale, making his first start in Turin after a brief injury layoff, has been whistled by some disgruntled Real fans at the Bernabeu this term, a startling turnaround for a player who scored crucial goals in the finals of the Champions League and the King's Cup in 2013-14.
