Cristiano Ronaldo faced multiple pitch invasions from selfie-hunting fans during Portugal’s Euro 2024 match against Turkey, highlighting significant security breaches. Initially, a young fan successfully reached Ronaldo in the 69th minute, taking a selfie before being escorted away. This incident spurred further attempts, with another fan grabbing Ronaldo by the neck 15 minutes later, causing visible frustration for the Portuguese star. Despite several invasions, Ronaldo maintained composure, guiding fans away as security struggled to control the situation.
Portugal secured a 3-0 victory over Turkey, booking a spot in the last 16 as Group F winners. Bernardo Silva opened the scoring in the 21st minute, followed by a comical own-goal from Turkish defender Samet Akaydin. Bruno Fernandes sealed the win with a tap-in after a setup by Ronaldo. The victory places Portugal atop Group F with six points, ensuring their advancement to the knockout stages.
