When leaving the field after Portugal’s 0-2 loss to Georgia, C.Ronaldo was almost hit in the chest by a fan.
Last night, the Portuguese team suffered a humiliating defeat with a score of 0-2 against Georgia, an opponent 68 places below them on the FIFA rankings. Although this loss did not affect the top position of the European Selecao, it greatly affected the team’s playing spirit.
A fan rushed down and almost hit C. Ronaldo (Screenshot).C.Ronaldo is one of the most disappointing players in Portugal in this match. The 39-year-old player only had one shot on Georgia’s wooden frame (a free kick), before being replaced in the 65th minute.
Even on the way out of the stadium, the Portuguese superstar had a problem. From the stands, a fan jumped down to approach this player. However, the above action almost injured CR7. This guy’s double kick was only a few centimeters away from C.Ronaldo’s body. Security staff immediately stood up to protect this player.
This is not the first time fans have crossed the line to approach C. Ronaldo. During Portugal’s 3-0 victory over Turkey, many fans flooded the field to take pictures with CR7, including young fans. The fact that superstar number 7 “indulged” the fans further encouraged them to commit extreme acts.
Security personnel intervened promptly (Screenshot).To the point, UEFA has advised fans not to climb down onto the field during Euro 2024 matches. UEFA announced: “Any violation of players on the field is a violation of regulations. These cases will be kicked off the field, banned from watching all matches of the tournament and sued.”
However, right after this announcement was made, the fan still risked his life to jump to C.Ronaldo’s position. That shows that UEFA’s regulations and penalties cannot stop passionate hearts from rushing down to meet their idols.
In the round of 16, Portugal will face Slovenia. They are in a very difficult group with Germany, France, Spain, Belgium… That affects the European Selecao’s chance to win the Euro 2024 championship.
