Wales captain Gareth Bale was subjected to vile abuse outside of Real Madrid's training base as so-called fans hurled expletives at him and one threw a pen at his car.
Bale was back in the Spanish capital following his exploits with Wales over the last fortnight, during which he played one half of football against Belarus in the 5-1 win.
He missed the 1-1 draw with Belgium on Tuesday night, a result which secured Wales a home play-off semi-final for the World Cup, owing to a calf injury.
It has since come to light that the injury will keep him sidelined for around three weeks.
That news has once again sparked a vicious backlash in the Spanish media, with one pundit erupting live on TV over Bale's chequered injury record.
Bale has played only three games for Real Madrid this season and has not played since the 0-0 draw with Estonia with Wales back in September.
The fact he even played against Belarus enraged some in the Spanish capital, with one AS journalist claiming he was "taking the p*** out of the club he represents".
However, that has now spilled over into actual abuse being thrown Bale's way within touching distance.
A video which emerged on Twitter on Friday showed the 32-year-old leaving the Spanish club's Valdebebas base with a small group of fans waiting outside.
They began to curse at the Wales talisman, with calls of "F*** you!" being heard from one fan. Another screams "Maricon!" which is a homophobic slur.
During the vile verbal abuse, one supporter appears to throw a pen into the side of Bale's Audi, prompting the player to stop and look at the perpetrator before driving off.
Bale's contract in Madrid expires next June. It is expected he will leave the club as a free agent thereafter.
