Ronaldo’s altercation with the group
According to a report by Marca, the conflicts started after Ronaldo disapproved of information published by the newspaper, which he believed created a negative atmosphere in the national team at the time.
This led to a legal battle in 2011 and 2015, with the 38-year-old accusing the group of a lack of respect and penchant for inventing controversies.

This tension between the star and the media painted a bad and irreversible picture of a strained relationship.
