Portugal manager Roberto Martinez expressed concern over fans invading the pitch to take selfies with players after their Euro 2024 win over Turkey.
Five fans tried to approach Cristiano Ronaldo during the 3-0 victory in Dortmund, forcing security at Westfalenstadion to chase them as frustration grew among players and spectators.
“It is a concern. Today the intentions of the fans were good. We all love a fan who recognises the big stars and icons,” said Martinez.
“But you [must] understand there’s a difficult moment if their intentions are wrong. We need to be careful. It shouldn’t happen – there’s a lot of security.
“We should give a message to the fans also because it is not the right way. It may get worse for the future. It’s not good to have the players so exposed on the pitch.”
