Angry South Korean football fans are seeking compensation after Cristiano Ronaldo failed to take to the pitch during a Juventus pre‑season friendly.

The superstar was contracted to play 45 minutes when the match against K League All Stars was announced, organisers say, but he stayed on the subs' bench.

Fans became angry when he made no sign of lacing up his boots, even chanting the name of his rival Lionel Messi.

Some have now reached out to Seoul law firm Myungan to file a lawsuit.

They are seeking compensation of 70,000 won (£48.50; $59) per ticket, 1,000 won for the ticket commission fee, and 1m won each for compensation for "mental anguish".
