Bale came under criticism for going for goal instead of passing to an unmarked Ronaldo during Real's 3-0 win over Espanyol on Saturday.
The Welshman was subsequently jeered by fans inside the Santiago Bernabeu, despite having scored a superb free-kick earlier in the game.

"Madrid fans are always the same, they are very intense, they show what they feel, they aren't liars," he told reporters.
"But I think the things with Gaz are normal because they know that Gaz is a very important player for us, a key player.
"What happened on Saturday is in the past, sometimes I make mistakes too so it's part of the business, part of football.
"I think the people will be nice with him and they should be nice with him."
