Cristiano Ronaldo posing for a picture with the pitch-invading fan (X)

It’s not just Cristiano Ronaldo, who’s still dropping defenders at will. His fans can do the same too.
A viral clip from Portugal’s clash vs Turkey surfaced on social media, showcasing the young kid running past all security personnel who tried to capture him whilst clicking a picture with his idol on the field.
The young Portugal fan invaded the pitch in a hurry, as he rushed to his idol Ronaldo for an embrace and a timeless picture with him.
The kid is seen bolting towards Ronaldo, swiping his phone out quick to click the picture as the Portuguese obliged happily, and setting off in a jiffy when security rushed in to nab the kid off the pitch.
In an entertaining display, the kid waltzed past all personnel who took to the pitch, dancing his way around Turkey players right to the sidelines, before he himself slowed down and walked calmly to the security to be escorted away.
The kid was not the only invader through the game though, as at least five other fans managed to get onto the pitch attempting to pull off the same stunt, either during the match or after the final whistle, but Ronaldo grew increasingly exasperated with the unwanted attention.
“It is a concern because today we were lucky that the intentions of the fans were good,” Portugal coach Martinez told reporters after the match.
“I think that we all love a fan who recognises the big stars who are icons in their lands.
“I think we all agree with that, but you can understand that it is a very difficult moment if those intentions are wrong.
“Then the players are exposed and we need to be careful with that. Probably there is a lot of security and protection and I don’t think it should happen.”
