Cristiano Ronaldo branded ‘ultimate selfie enabler’ after incredible reaction to pitch invader at Portugal game
CRISTIANO RONALDO made a fan’s day as Portugal took on Poland yesterday.
The former Manchester United star, 39, earned his 212th international cap as his country won 3-1 in Warsaw.
Shortly after putting his side 2-0 in front on 37 minutes, Ronaldo was approached on the pitch by a smart-phone wielding mega-fan.
The desperate supporter ran onto the field in a bid to get a picture with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
Security chased after the fan, only for Ronaldo to wave them off.
He then took the snap with the supporter, as the unimpressed-looking match referee watched on.
After securing the picture of a lifetime, the fan was then finally escorted off the pitch.
As pictures circulated of the incident on social media, plenty of fans rushed to have their say.
One wrote on X: “Ronaldo proving he’s not just a GOAT but also the ultimate selfie enabler. Next up, he’ll be charging for autographs.”
While a second gushed: “Humility always from the king of football.”

A third swooned: “This is awesome.”
And another added: “Ronaldo stopping security for a fan to take a selfie is pure class!”
Portugal‘s 3-1 victory saw them move to the brink of the Nations League quarter-finals.
They will book a place in the last eight on Tuesday night, should they beat Scotland at Hampden Park.
