Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo might have got himself in trouble as his teammates are reportedly demanding an apology from him.
The Portuguese star angrily stormed into the dressing room after being removed for Paulo Dybala before their victory over Milan.
He was said to have left the stadium three minutes before the game ended in a move that has divided opinions online.
Retired footballer Antonio Cassano came forward to use himself as an example as he reckons the former Real Madrid star might face a lengthy ban for leaving the stadium before the end of the game.
On a personal level, all seem not to be well in the Juventus camp as teammates are growing increasingly tired of Ronaldo's antics.
According to Italian outlet Gazetta dello Sport, Juve players are seeking a personal apology from their talisman.
Reports further suggest that the players want Ronaldo to concede that he did not act accordingly as such a move would at least ease some tension in the dressing room.
Interestingly, Ronaldo was subbed in the 55th minute with Juventus struggling to break the deadlock and his substitute Paulo Dybala went on to score the winner.
Discontent with Ronaldo's behavior was also hinted by manager Maurizio Sarri who was also irked by the Portuguese's behavior.
"If Cristiano left before the end, it's a problem he will have to solve with his companions," Sarri had said post-match.
Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici has reportedly ironed out issues with Ronaldo through his agent Jorge Mendez but not the same can be said about his teammates.
