During tonight’s European Championship match between Portugal and Turkey, six people entered the pitch to take selfies with Cristiano Ronaldo.
– It’s as close to organizer disaster as you can get, says Jens Fjellström in TV4’s broadcast.
Portugal led 3-0 against Turkey and the match was only to be played off. But the last half hour will be talked about for a long time – when six plane stormers took to the field. All with one goal: Cristiano Ronaldo.
TV4’s expert commentator Jens Fjellström is critical that it looks the way it does, writes The soccer channel.
– There were six or seven people who entered the field in total, in different rounds. Think how many people might have been stopped, then we are up to even more, he says in TV4’s broadcast.

Here the plane stormer takes a selfie with Ronaldo
The scandalous scenes continued even after the final whistle. When Portugal had thanked their supporters and were on their way down to the players’ tunnel, another plane stormer came in. He was handled so harshly by the order staff that Goncalo Ramos went on a slap, then limped off the field.
– This is as close to organizer disaster as you can get when it comes to protecting the players’ safety. In a championship, the players are the most important asset, and they must not be put at risk. Here it happens six or seven times over, concludes Fjellström.
