Cristiano Ronaldo came no closer to being hit by a fan, as he threw himself from the stands to approach the Portugal international. Finally, a security officer intervened.
Cristiano Ronaldo's evening could have ended badly. The Portuguese forward, who was silent last night against Georgia, was once again the target of a fan who wanted to get as close as possible to the five-time Ballon d'Or winner. As he left the Schalke Arena accompanied by security personnel, “CR7” almost got hit directly by the legs of a fan who had the a little courage to jump in front of the star.
“It's absolutely crazy,” one Cristiano Ronaldo fan account wrote while streaming the video. But there is no longer any fear of harm for the 39-year-old Portuguese, who is currently playing his sixth Euro tournament with his selection. A supervisor sacrificed himself to prevent a fan from touching Cristiano Ronaldo and keeping him away from the Portuguese striker. The latter seemed surprised by the scene, as he had shared a wonderful moment a few days earlier with a young companion.
