The Portugal star has attracted the ire of fans and officials alike after not playing in a friendly game against the K League All-Stars
The row between Juventus and South Korea’s K League shows no sign of abating as the latter released a statement accusing the Serie A champions of “shamelessness, untruth and deception”.
Korean fans have pursued legal action against Juventus for the cost of tickets and ‘mental anguish’ after Cristiano Ronaldo did not play in a pre-season match between Juve and a K League All-Star team.
Maurizio Sarri put out a strong side which played out an entertaining 3-3 draw, but it is claimed the Portuguese star was contractually obliged to play for at least 45 minutes.
