Slovenia vs Portugal: Cristiano Ronaldo Shows Class by Taking Selfie with Pitch Invader

• Portugal suffered a 2-0 defeat to Slovenia on Tuesday, March 26
• Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the side but could not inspire a win
• The 39-year-old had a delightful moment with a pitch invader

Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo made the evening of a lucky pitch invader as he took a selfie with him during a friendly against Slovenia on Tuesday.

Ronaldo sat out Portugal’s previous game against Sweden which Roberto Martinez’s side won comfortably to take their winning streak to 11 games.

Despite the return of the superstar, he was powerless to stop his team from succumbing to a 2-0 defeat in Ljublana, per BBC.

After a goalless first half, midfielders Adam Cerin and Timi Elsnik came up with the goods as Slovenia pulled out a surprise result against the Euro 2016 winners.

Ronaldo’s selfie moment

It was a frustrating evening for Ronaldo, but the Al-Nassr forward still showed his class with a delightful moment involving a pitch invader.

It is not uncommon to see fans taking their chances to storm the pitch in a bid to meet their idols, and this was the case on Tuesday as a daring spectator ran up to Ronaldo to attempt to take a selfie with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.

Rather than dismissing the fan, Ronaldo accorded him a few seconds as the pair posed for a photo, to the amusement of the referee and Portugal defender Pepe.

The incident took place in the 42nd minute when the scores were deadlocked at 0-0.

What next for Cristiano Ronaldo?

Portugal have already qualified for Euro 2024, so the defeat to Slovenia will not bother Ronaldo too much.
