VIDEO | Fan Jumps at Cristiano Ronaldo: Could Have Ended in Tragedy
The frenzy for a photo with Cristiano Ronaldo is on the rise at the Euro Cup. This fan jumped from the stands and narrowly avoided a tragedy.
After up to six fans invaded the pitch seeking a memorable photo with their idol Cristiano Ronaldo during Portugal vs. Turkey, things escalated further.
Immediately after Portugal vs. Georgia, which ended in defeat for the Portuguese team, another supporter attempted to reach the Portuguese star.
This incident occurred as CR7 was making his way up the tunnel towards the dressing rooms. The fan in question jeopardized his physical safety by launching himself feet-first from the stands.
Swift action by security personnel prevented the fan from landing on Cristiano Ronaldo, who had to halt to avoid a collision.
The fan ended up crashing into the stairs, and the impact's consequences for his physical well-being have not been disclosed.
This incident underscores the intense passion for Cristiano Ronaldo during this Euro Cup—perhaps a bit too intense.
