UEFA is set to launch an investigation into the farcical scenes that saw Cristiano Ronaldo approached by six pitch invaders during Portugal’s 3-0 demolition of Turkey.<br /><br />The 39-year-old posed for a selfie with one young fan who entered the pitch in the second half but became increasingly irate when three more supporters reached him before the final whistle.<br /><br />Two other men breached the security cordon and got to the superstar during the post-match celebrations, prompting Portugal manager Roberto Martinez to state his ‘concern’ over player safety.<br /><br /><br />He said: ‘It is a concern because today the intentions of the fans were good. But there will be a difficult moment if the intentions are wrong and players are exposed.<br /><br />‘I don’t think that should happen. Maybe there is a message to the fans that this is not the right way. It is not good that the players are so exposed on the pitch.’<br /><br />Bernardo Silva, who scored Portugal’s opening goal, added: ‘I’m not concerned, it’s just a bit annoying in terms of always having to stop the game because a fan enters the pitch.<br /><br />‘That's the price you pay for being so recognized in the world of football and having a player like [Ronaldo] with us. In terms of feeling endangered, not me personally I don’t think.’<br /><br />UEFA is understood to be reviewing the incidents.<br /><br />The initial incident saw one young fan manage to evade security and run towards Ronaldo who stopped to embrace the child.<br /><br />The child then pulled out a phone and posed for a photo with Ronaldo - who happily obliged - before running away again in an attempt to evade stewards.<br /><br />He surprisingly dodged several attempts from guards who were trying to get the fan off the pitch so play could resume but was eventually brought to a halt near the dugout.<br /><br />Ronaldo was left in a good mood following the exchange which was made even better as Portugal won the game 3-0 to ensure their qualification to the knockout stages of the tournament.<br /><br />But, the Al-Nassr striker wasn't able to get on the scoresheet as his wait for a first strike at Euro 2024 continues, however, Ronaldo extended his lead as the competition's record assist holder when he squared the ball to Bruno Fernandes for his side's third goal.<br /><br />Ronaldo was less than impressed when a second supporter tried to get access to him by jumping onto the pitch towards the end of the match.<br /><br />The fan who was possibly encouraged by the success of the child in getting a picture with Ronaldo tried their luck but were stopped short by guards.<br /><br />Another fan tried to do the same in the last minute of normal time, with six individuals in total making attempts to storm the pitch in a bid to get a picture with the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.<br /><br />The most bizarre attempt came as Portugal's players tried to leave the field at the end of the game, with stewards forming a circle around Ronaldo and his colleagues.<br /><br />Two adults evaded challenges before eventually being halted by a group of guards as Ronaldo watched on unimpressed by the security breach
