(CNN) - Cristiano Ronaldo is back in the headlines without even kicking a ball -- and it hasn't gone down well in South Korea. Instead Ronaldo spent the entire game on the bench to the dismay of many of the 66,000 fans that went to the match. "For fans in South Korea, Ronaldo's appearance isn't just about a contract, but trust in Juventus with 121 years of its rich history. "No one at Juventus wanted to bring disrepute to K League, Korea Football Association, or Asian Football Confederation."
