A strange invasion occurred after the match between Portugal and Georgia, following Brazil Europe's 2-0 defeat in the final group stage of Euro 2024. Ronaldo exhibited extreme anger during the match after the referee refused to award him a penalty in the first half, and his frustration persisted throughout the game. The Italian network "Sport Mediaset" reported that stadiums in Germany continue to experience more pitch invasions and increasing security issues.
Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of Portugal, once again became the focal point of the incident. After five fans invaded the pitch during the previous match against Turkey to take selfies with him, a similar event occurred at the end of the Georgia match. UEFA announced that it had implemented more security measures to prevent further invasions, but it happened again with Ronaldo.
While Cristiano was exiting towards the tunnel leading to the locker room, one fan risked his life in a bizarre situation by jumping from the stands from a considerable height in an attempt to reach Ronaldo. Immediately, a security guard behind Cristiano rushed towards the fan before he could touch him. The current status of the fan, who appeared to have fallen on the stairs leading to the tunnel and whether he was injured, is still unknown.
