Once again and as usual in the world of football, Cristiano Ronaldo was once again the leader spearhead for the Portuguese national team, in its second match in the 2024 Euro Cup that is taking place in Germany. Although he was unable to score goals in the 3-0 victory against Turkey, the Portuguese forward caught everyone’s attention long before the game’s opening whistle.
Several videos went viral through social networks and the media.and one of those that caught the most attention took place with a little fan who in her facial and body expression showed that she could not believe that the living legend who lives today in Al Nassr of Arabia, was by her side.
Ronaldo and his noblest side
The moment also sees Ronaldo lined up with his teammates in the middle of the play. of national anthems. Next to them were a group of girls and one of them was the one who turned and touched the arm of the former Real Madrid, Juventus and Manchester United player. The little girl turned around and put her hands on her face without believing that she had just done it, while Ronaldo smiled, pretending to be distracted from her. After that, the girl wanted to share her emotion with another who was next to her and that was when she was able to exchange glances with the Portuguese forward, sharing a smile.
That girl could very well be me.
What’s more, I even pee on myself.

Finally, after the end of the national anthems and the protocol greetingsthe so-called ‘CR7’ gave the little girl a kiss and a hug before she left the playing field.
Ronaldo very close to his fans
This was not the only moment that the forward experienced in the game where he was able to share up close with his fans. The match was interrupted up to 4 times by fans jumping onto the playing field from the stands, to greet or take a photo (selfie) with the Portuguese striker.
The highest assister in the history of the Euro Cup
The 39-year-old scorer, who added a goal pass to Bruno Fernandes to become the oldest assistant in the history of the Euro Cup with the seven that he signed among all his participations, he shared with a child whom Cristiano received on the playing field with affection and they took a photo, a gesture that was applauded by the entire public. Then there were more interventions in the game by fans on the playing field, but the whistles from the stands did not wait, as this generated delays in the development of the match.
The most worrying thing took place when they were leaving the field of play with the passport to the second round in the pocket thanks to the 3-0 against Türkiye. Cristiano stood still, watching as another fan tried to get to him and the cameras managed to capture the exact moment in which one of the security agents who was trying to stop said fan slipped, carrying Gonçalo Ramos with him.
The 23-year-old forward, who has accumulated two substitutions without minutes in the current European Championship in Germany, fell to the ground after the involuntary blow of this assistant. He got up visibly in pain, unable to walk calmly as a result of the aforementioned collision.
Portugal’s next match
Portugal will be returning to action next Wednesday, June 26 at the Veltins-Arena in the city of Gelsenkirchen against the Georgian national team and will then face the round of 16 on Monday, July 1 at the Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt.
