Cristiano Ronaldo received bad news on Tuesday before Portugal’s World Cup match against Switzerland. He was being benched for the start of the Round of 16 game.

The benching came after Ronaldo expressed his frustration with Portugal coach Fernando Santos about being pulled out of the match against South Korea. 

Ronaldo’s attitude came into question in the final two matches of the group stage. He started the World Cup with a goal against Ghana and became the first male player to score in five different World Cups. Santos said Monday that Ronaldo’s attitude was becoming a distraction.

“I didn’t like it, not at all. I really didn’t like it,” Santos said. “We fixed that in-house and that’s it.”
