Real Madrid player Gareth Bale says he doesn't know who UK's Prime Minister is

Welsh international says the only thing he follows from back home is the golf

Brexit is complex to understand for many and Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale is one of them, but the Welsh football star doesn't even know who Boris Johnson is.

In a recent interview with The Telegraph, the 30-year-old revealed that he thought Johnson was a mayor.

"I look in terms of stuff financially, because [Brexit] affects me in a certain way for investments or money, because things change, but I don't read most of the nonsense. I genuinely don't know 99 per cent of Brexit. I don't even know who the prime minister is anymore. I haven't got a clue."

When told Johnson was the new Prime Minister of the UK, Bale said: "Well, there we go. I didn't know that. I thought he was the mayor?"

In a toungue-in-cheek comment, Bale then said that the only thing he follows from back home is the golf.

"I can't have a say in it so I'm not interested. I follow the golf, that's about it. I can tell you who's number one in the world?"

The left-footed winger is currently playing for Spanish giants Real Madrid but he doesn't seem to be happy there after the arrival of Zinedine Zidane.

It was reported that on Monday he met his agent to spark speculations that he might be planning a move away from the Bernabeu, which has been the case throughout 2019.
