6 crazy fans rushed into the stadium to 'hunt' Ronaldo, UEFA opened an urgent investigation

Cristiano Ronaldo became the main character in the match between Portugal and Türkiye in Group F of EURO 2024. Not only did the 39-year-old striker make history as the player with the most assists in EURO, but he also became the target of many passionate fans.

Ronaldo happily took pictures with young fans

It all started in the middle of the second half, when a young fan escaped the security fence and ran onto the pitch to take a photo with Ronaldo. Although the fan interrupted the match, Ronaldo still happily welcomed him and took a photo with him.

However, shortly after, three more fans also overcame the security team at Signal Iduna Park to get on the field and approach Ronaldo. At this point, the Portuguese superstar's attitude changed. He clearly showed his frustration and fatigue when fans "put their arms around his neck" and forced him to take photos with them. After that, the security guards had to work very hard to get the overzealous fans off the field.

After the match ended (Portugal won 3-0), Ronaldo was once again harassed. Two fans successfully climbed over the fence to step onto the pitch to take photos with Ronaldo, while the 39-year-old superstar was celebrating with his teammates. In an effort to stop the extremists, the security team even accidentally ran into Goncalo Ramos, causing the young striker of the Portuguese team to lie on the ground in pain.

Security team "rescues" Portuguese superstar

In football, crazy fans rushing onto the pitch to approach their idols have happened many times. Ronaldo and Lionel Messi also have many memories of taking pictures with fans while the match was taking place. However, the fact that up to 6 fans can break the security barrier to rush onto the pitch in the same match is very rare.

At the end of the match, the security team had to stand in a circle to protect Ronaldo and his teammates from leaving the field safely.

Following the incident at Signal Iduna Park, UEFA has opened a security investigation to ensure this problem does not happen again.

Coach Roberto Martinez shared after the match: "I am very worried. The fans who came onto the pitch today had good intentions, but what if they had bad intentions towards the players? It is very dangerous to let the players be easily approached like that. I don't think that should happen.

We need to send a message to the fans that this is not the right way to do things. Players are being approached too many times while playing, it's not okay."

Midfielder Bernardo Silva said: "I'm not too worried, but a bit annoyed because the match was interrupted many times. This is probably the price we have to pay when we are famous, especially when Portugal has a player like Ronaldo. If you ask me if I feel dangerous, my answer is no."

Portugal has secured an early qualification for the round of 16 at EURO 2024 after winning both matches against the Czech Republic and Türkiye. In the final match, Ronaldo and his teammates will face newcomer Georgia.
