During yesterday's Audi Cup final between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich there was a "controversial" moment between Toni Kroos and Gareth Bale. The former Spurs superstar was chilling on the bench when Kroos got subbed off. As the German headed towards the bench Bale extended his hand out for a good old-fashioned friendly high-five.
What happened next sent shockwaves through the footballing world.

That's right. Kroos walked by Bale completely snubbing his attempt to be BFF's. What in the world was happening? Were the Galacticos crumbling right before our very eyes? (Or did he just not see him? Probably.)
The internet went wild over the incident. Laughter and mocking ensued.
Finally on the way home from the tournament, the two teammates got their most awkward white guy high-five on and every thing was resolved.
