Cristiano Ronaldo blocked the Instagram account of transfer website Transfermarkt in March last year after taking offence at the valuation they had given him.
Transfermarkt published a 'Jorges Mendes XI' on Instagram made out of players represented by the Portuguese agent in March 2020, with Ronaldo spearheading the attack and given a valuation of €75m.
Shortly after publishing the graphic, Transfermarkt commented on their own post saying 'We can't tag Ronaldo because he blocked us after he saw his market value' and now they have lifted the lid on exactly what happened.
