Portugal’s manager, Roberto Martínez, voiced security concerns after five spectators invaded the pitch and got to Cristiano Ronaldo in search of selfies
A sixth man failed in an attempt to get to the five-time Ballon d’Or winner but caused a steward to slip and crash into theThe first pitch invader, a young child dressed in a red tracksuit top, was warmly received by Ronaldo, who waited for the boy to reach him, smiled, put his arms out and then posed for a picture together midway through the second half.
A sixth appeared while Portugal were heading off, having applauded supporters, a few minutes later. He slipped and got up again, eventually wrestled to the ground by five stewards. His behaviour caused the collision involving Ramos. Ronaldo had been grabbed at the beginning of the Euros by a fan who was among a dozen supporters who ran on to the pitch at Portugal’s training camp in Gutersloh. The Wolves goalkeeper José Sá tackled one of them to the ground.“It is a concern because today we were lucky that the intentions of the fans were good,” Martínez said here. “We all love a fan who recognises the big stars and the big icons in their life. We all agree with that.
