Cristiano Ronaldo Sparks Frenzy at Portugal Training
The Euro 2024 euphoria isn't just confined to the stadiums where the matches will be played. Thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo, moments of madness unfolded during Portugal's training session as several fans stormed onto the pitch while the team was warming up ahead of their clash against the Czech Republic.
Portugal decided to hold an open training session a couple of days before their Euro 2024 debut. According to social media reports, around 6,000 fans attended, though over 50,000 had requested entry. From the outset, the stands were packed as spectators gathered to witness the warm-ups of stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, Pepe, and Vitinha.
However, during the training session, several fans attempted to bypass security and enter the playing area. Some managed to approach the Al-Nassr forward, while others were stopped by security personnel or the Portuguese players themselves.
The Portuguese team will play their first match on Tuesday, June 18, against the Czech Republic. Group F also includes Turkey and Georgia, whom Portugal will face on June 22 and June 26, respectively.
