Gareth Bale faces a potential ban between four to 12 matches for his gesture towards Atletico Madrid supporters.

La Liga have referred the incident to the competition committee of the Spanish federation [RFEF].

"In the 73rd minute of the game, after scoring his team's third goal, Real Madrid player Gareth Bale, who had been booed by the local fans, celebrated by raising his right hand close to his head, in a provocative gesture to the supporters, then in a gesture of possible obscene and derogatory meaning doubled his arm while cutting across the middle of it with his other hand," the La Liga statement read.
