VIDEO: Cristiano Ronaldo gives bizarre reaction to Gareth Bale's goal
While such a public display of disgust doesn't seem likely, it's easy to conclude Cristiano Ronaldo's reaction following Gareth Bale's first goal Sunday reveals a rocky relationship between the two Real Madrid superstars.
Following the 2014 Ballon d'Or winner's audacious attempt at goal when he acrobatically pulled off a bicycle kick, Bale gathered the subsequent rebound and fired home for the opening goal against Levante.
However, Ronaldo's reaction to Bale's goal stole the spotlight. As the Portuguese international gets up from his miss, Ronaldo is seen throwing his hand in the air as if he was annoyed by Bale's effort to convert the goal.
To his credit, he does a similar motion while he's on the ground immediately after his effort, but his second motion seems more sinister.

If he was annoyed by that goal, then Bale's second surely left Ronaldo fuming.
The two were involved in Madrid's second goal just over 20 minutes later when Ronaldo's shot on goal zipped into the net, but was rewarded to Bale because the Welshman got the slightest touch on the ball as is went by him.
