Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane and Gareth Bale are not on speaking terms, it has been revealed.

Marca says the relationship between the pair is now "non existent".

Indeed, it's claimed Zidane hasn't had a conversation with Bale since his celebrated return to replace Santiago Solari on March 11.

The only contact has been on matchday when Zidane has passed on his tactical instructions to the Welshman. Indeed, it's suggested Zidane hasn't even looked Bale in the eyes since his return.

After defeat at Rayo Vallecano, Zidane publicly blasted Bale, stating: "Gareth Bale? I do not know if he has his head in Madrid. You have to ask him..."
