MADRID: Real Madrid's Gareth Bale and Paris St Germain's Neymar have traded places as the most expensive player in the world but find themselves in the firing line from their own supporters as their sides prepare to meet in the Champions League on Wednesday.
"It's logical to love your country more than your club although perhaps he made a mistake with the flag, but I know Gareth and he is 100 percent committed every day," goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois told a news conference ahead of the PSG game. Bale has not started for Real for more than six weeks but coach Zinedine Zidane said he was ready to include him in the starting line-up against PSG, who routed his side 3-0 when they met in Paris in September."It's an important game for everyone, for Bale, the fans and the team," added Zidane.
The Brazilian has had a fragile relationship with PSG ever since courting a move to Barcelona in the close season and came in for renewed criticism for going to watch the Davis Cup in Madrid just as he was recovering from a hamstring problem.
