Typically, teens who participate in the pre-game party file backstage once their work is done. This time, some wanted to extend the fun before the start of the Euro Championship half between Portugal and Wales on Wednesday in Lyon. A young man first walked up to Cristiano Ronaldo after the national anthem to take a selfie and hug him.
Afterwards, another participant quietly came over to share a small kiss with the Real Madrid star before posing for pictures with the rest of the Portuguese squad. An initiative that pleased Ronaldo.
In October, a young man entered the Parc des Princes to hug the player during the Champions League match between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid. The two Lyon teens didn't even need to get past security to realize their dream.
