There is no doubt that footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has a massive fan following among worldwide football fans. There are instances when fans shock their idols by breaching security during sports events and the sportsmen need to respond appropriately in such situation. One such event occurred during the Copa Italia clash between Juventus and Sassuolo on Sunday.
The Juventus star Ronaldo showed a kind gesture which pleased everyone when a fan breached security to reach out to him during the match. A pitch invader entered the ground and hugged Ronaldo while enacting Portugal footballer’s trademark celebration in front of him. The invader was topless with only a bandana around his neck and a jumper tied around his waist.
Ronaldo responded responsibly and patted the face of the fan trying to calm him down. His kind gesture was widely appreciated by worldwide cricket watchers. The fan was taken away by security later. In the match, Juventus blanked Sassuolo 3-0 with Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo scoring one of the goals, contributing an assist and leading the team to victory. Cristiano has now scored 18 goals so far this season and leads the table of strikers with Juventus.
