Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal might have easily defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina 3-0 on Saturday in the Euro 2024 qualifier, but more than the game, it was an ecstatic CR7 fan who turned heads on the football pitch. 

The second half of the match was interrupted when a spectator ran towards the football star with a Portugal flag in his hand. Bypassing security, the fan hugged Ronaldo and touched his feet before picking up the 38-year-old. 

The Portugal captain indulged the fan with his iconic 'Siu' celebration before he hurried off the pitch, evading security once more. 

With this easy win, Portugal leads Group J with nine points, two more than Slovakia, which beat Iceland 2-1.

After the game, YouTuber IShow Speed, whose love for Ronaldo is no secret, finally got to meet his favourite footballer. 

In a video posted on his YouTube channel, Speed was seen waiting at the stadium as cars passed by. One of them stopped and Ronaldo stepped out. 

The excited influencer was then hugged by CR7 and the pair even snapped pictures together. 

Moments after Ronaldo left, the 18-year-old YouTuber was still in disbelief as he sank to the floor, reduced to tears after meeting his idol.
