'Passive' Bale was reactive in Real Madrid's Champions League failure

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has said that Gareth Bale was reactive in Real Madrid's 1-1 draw with Juventus on Wednesday night.

The reigning European champions crashed out of the Champions League 3-2 on aggregate prompting Sky Sports pundit Henry to criticise the Madrid side while labelling Bale's performance as passive.

Henry said: "He was very passive tonight. He was reacting instead of being active.

"You can't just have a go at Gareth Bale just for tonight. It is not a good season here."
