Cristiano Ronaldo Avoids Being Hit by Fan Jumping from Stands on Video at Euro 2024

Security blocked a fan from diving at Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo after Wednesday's loss to Georgia at the 2024 European Championship.

Footage posted on social media shows Ronaldo offering a bemused expression after the person took a head-first tumble after being blocked by security.

"We all love a fan that recognizes the big stars and the big icons in their minds," Portugal coach Roberto Martinez coach said. "But you can understand it was a very, very difficult moment. If those intentions are wrong, the players are exposed and we need to be careful with that."

Police have said they do not plan on charging the fan with a crime, as it was out of their jurisdiction. UEFA said additional safety measures will be taken going forward.

Fans previously charged the field to take a selfie with Ronaldo during Saturday's match against Turkey.

Portugal's next game will be Monday against Slovenia in the Round of 16. Ronaldo is looking to capture his second European championship after winning with Portugal in 2016.
