Cristiano Ronaldo had a close call with a fan last night following Portugal’s surprising 2-0 defeat to Georgia at the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen. As Ronaldo and his team exited the pitch, a fan leaped over the stands and nearly collided with the football star.

The incident, captured on video and shared on social media, shows the supporter jumping feet-first towards Ronaldo, barely missing the 39-year-old. A nearby steward quickly intervened, shielding Ronaldo and preventing potential harm.

Despite the alarming moment, it appears the fan’s intention was not to injure Ronaldo but rather to get close to his hero. This episode adds to a series of fan invasions during Euro 2024 involving Ronaldo. Fans previously stormed the pitch in Dortmund during Portugal’s 3-0 victory over Turkey, with Ronaldo accommodating them by posing for selfies.

Additionally, Portugal’s pre-tournament training camp saw a surge of fans, with tickets initially offered for free being resold for over £670. The allure of witnessing Ronaldo in action continues to draw fervent supporters, often leading to chaotic scenes both on and off the pitch.
