After Portugal’s World Cup qualifier against the Republic of Ireland, a young pitch invader came on the pitch to meet her icon, Cristiano Ronaldo.
This young pitch invader could not believe her eyes after coming into contact with the five-time world footballer of the year.
Ronaldo, being a man for the people, reciprocated the kind gesture as he gave this young female fan a hug, and to cap it, he gave her his shirt.

Some reactions from social media users are;
@longlivejxmg – She got that Edou Mendy jersey under the jacket she goated for this one
@andrewm26926583 – I think he was absolutely brilliant, what a lovely way to treat a fan
@ANDR33WM – Say her da I delighted with her, then the other 5 kids running on as well gotta take the chances when they come
@ZeleMujagic – Once a Legend always a Legend, so much love and respect for this guy.#CR7#
@Picarat – We need to stop promoting this behavior, a player is going to get hurt one of these times…
@pkbuggy – Shouldn’t have given her a shirt, this just encourages more pitch invaders to invade the pitch expecting a reward for it. Terrible move from Ronaldo.
