'It is a concern' - Roberto Martinez worried after pitch invader confronts Cristiano Ronaldo during his warm-up ahead of Portugal's Nations League tie against Germany

UEFA Nations League A

<p>A supporter ran up to Ronaldo during the warm-up ahead of the semi-final in Munich, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/portugal-player-ratings-vs-germany-cristiano-ronaldo-nuno-mendes-nations-league-final-florian-wirtz/bltfb7fdae71b9e2d78" target="_blank">which Portugal won 2-1</a>. Though the situation was quickly dealt with, the Portugal boss was not happy that an invader was able to get so close to his captain.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Martinez 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. I don’t think that should happen. Maybe there is a message to the fans that this is not the right way.&nbsp;It is not good that the players are so exposed on the pitch."</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The way Ronaldo jumped to escape the pitch invader 😂😂😂😂<br> <a href="https://t.co/a7c1bzc2Ij">pic.twitter.com/a7c1bzc2Ij</a></p>— fan (@NoodleHairCR7) <a href="https://twitter.com/NoodleHairCR7/status/1930413577531191537?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 4, 2025</a></blockquote>
