While most Real Madrid players were ecstatic as they celebrated the club's 34th La Liga title on Thursday, star striker Gareth Bale's subdued celebration has irked fans.

Incidentally, Bale, who was benched for Real's last seven games, including Thursday's night's title-deciding win 2-1 over Villarreal, turned 31 on the same day. So, it should have been a double celebration for the Welshman.
