Surprising images that were seen during the Portugal-Bosnia qualifying match for the 2024 Euro Cup. A fan circumvented the stadium security and jumped onto the pitch to hug his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo, whom he came to hug and lift up by the airs. The Al-Nassr player
The incident took place in the second half, when the spontaneous jumped onto the grass of the Estadio Da Luz and ran directly towards Cristiano Ronaldo. When he reached him, he began to hug him and knelt down to kiss his feet before hoisting him into the air while the Portuguese striker smiled and waited for the authorities. When the fan saw that they were coming towards him, he got up, emulated Cristiano’s mythical goal celebration and fled waving a Portuguese flag to end up being captured by security personnel.
The forward of the Portuguese team did not seem to be bothered by the effusiveness of this fan, nor by the passivity of the stadium’s security services, which failed to prevent the man from jumping onto the pitch and even lifting it into the air. Cristiano has experienced this type of situation on other occasions throughout his career and has always accepted them with ease and kindness: “I will never refuse a hug, a photo or an autograph. I was also an amateur ”, he had stated in the past.
In sports, a double and an assist from Bruno Fernandes made the difference this Saturday in Portugal’s victory over Bosnia (3-0), in a match in which Roberto Martínez’ men shone again, although with some growing pains . In an exhibition with moments in which it was clear that there is still room for improvement, Portugal delivered against Bosnia, who ended up giving in to the talent of players like Fernandes, Cristiano Ronaldo and Bernardo Silva, who remain unstoppable even after a long season.
Despite not scoring, Cristiano Ronaldo offered an excellent display in his 199th match with the team he captains, in which he served as the common thread of Martínez’s tactics on the pitch, and was rewarded with chants of his name from of the Portuguese public. But the figure of the night was really Bruno Fernandes. Even with his more than 6,000 minutes in his legs, he still had energy left in minute 93 to make a fatal shot in the center of the area that marked his double and the third and last on the scoreboard.
