Pitch invaders disrupt Portugal's match for selfies with Ronaldo!

Portugal's recent Group F win against Turkey at Euro 2024 became a spectacle not for goals but for overly enthusiastic fans seeking selfies with Cristiano Ronaldo. The match was repeatedly halted by fans storming the pitch to snap photos with the football icon, much to Ronaldo's amusement and frustration. Despite the chaos, Ronaldo managed one assist amidst the selfie interruptions, securing a 3-0 victory for Portugal. Manager Roberto Martínez expressed security concerns as five pitch invaders successfully reached Ronaldo in pursuit of selfies, highlighting the challenges of managing star-struck supporters in major tournaments. The disruptive fan incidents underscored Ronaldo's enduring global popularity and the impact of his presence on and off the field. Ronaldo's declining playing ability is raising questions about Portugal's performance at Euro 2024, with concerns that his individual involvement may hinder the team's chances of a deep tournament run.
