Cristiano Ronaldo made a young child’s dream come true after he paused midway through Portugal’s Euro 2024 match against Turkey to take a photo with the football fan.
Pitch intruders typically face stiff sanctions, including lifetime stadium bans for interrupting play while running onto the grass, but Ronaldo’s intervention means this is unlikely to be the case for this intruder.

Open training sessions quickly sold out, with some individuals even attempting to enter the pitch during practice sessions before being stopped just in front of Ronaldo.
However, during Saturday’s second group match against Turkey, a young fan managed to evade security and launch an attack on Ronaldo, who stopped to hug the child.
