An overzealous Cristiano Ronaldo fan got to celebrate a 3-0 Portugal victory in its UEFA Euro qualifying match alongside his soccer hero, as Ronaldo ended up doing his signature goal celebration alongside the pitch invader. Ronaldo and the fan did the "Siuuu" together before security at Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica arrived to address the situation.
The fan, who was holding a Portugal flag, ran onto the pitch and embraced Ronaldo before getting him to do his signature celebration dance to the delight of the crowd. Though it was surely an incomparable experience for the overeager fan, he was forced to sprint away from security once the encounter came to a close.
