The incident occurred during an Al-Nassr match last season, when Martínez disallowed two Ronaldo goals for offside. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner reacted angrily to the decisions, leading to a heated exchange with the referee.

"Cristiano Ronaldo is very difficult due to his temperament," Martínez commented. The referee noted that while he has officiated several matches involving Ronaldo, this particular incident was more heated than usual.

Despite the occasional flare-ups, Ronaldo continues to prove his worth on the pitch. Even at the age of 39, the Portuguese forward remains one of the most prolific goal-scorers in football history. His recent goal for Portugal in their UEFA Nations League victory over Poland further demonstrates his enduring talent.

As Ronaldo prepares for his next international match against Scotland, his reputation as a passionate and competitive player remains intact. However, the incident with Martínez serves as a reminder that even the greatest players can have their moments of frustration.
