Cristiano Ronaldo remained on the Seoul bench.
Cristiano Ronaldo remained on the bench during a clash in South Korea.
Now 162 fans have been sentenced to 400 SEK each in damages for “emotional suffering,” writes AFP.
It was in the summer of 2019 that Juventus diverted to South Korea to face the K-League All Stars. 65,000 South Koreans filled the stands, many with the ambition to study superstar Cristiano Ronaldo closely.
But despite the fact that the game was marked with the Portuguese as the great draw, Cristiano Ronaldo remained on the bench for 90 minutes, much to the anger of several fans.
It got so far that 162 of them chose to sue organizer The Fasta for fake marketing. And now AFP reports that the organizer is forced to return the ticket price and another 400 SEK to each for “emotional suffering.”

South Korean fans crying.
He went to Sweden frustrated
In fact, Ronaldo’s lack of playing time even gave rise to a new expression in South Korea: “act like Ronaldo.” That is, not living up to what was promised.
Juventus or Ronaldo himself have never been charged with anything in the case.
However, according to AFP, there was a fan who also wanted to vent his frustration with the Juventus forward. The news agency writes that a South Korean traveled to Sweden (where Juventus faced Atlético de Madrid) to face Ronaldo head-to-head. It is unclear if it happened then.
