Pitch invader almost kissed Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo was almost KISSED by a pitch invader as fans mobbed him during Portugal’s defeat to Holland.

The two nations squared up as the European champions continued their preparations for the World Cup.

The 33-year-old continued his recent rich vein of form with a brace against Egypt last week, but was unable to repeat the trick against the Dutch in Geneva.

Ronald Koeman’s side were 3-0 up after 45 minutes and after the break the Real Madrid star was approached by a pitch invader who tried to kiss him and then take a selfie.

Another supporter, wearing a Real Madrid shirt, then ran on to the pitch and hugged Ronaldo.

He posed for a photograph as a mate held the camera before security intervened.

They were taken off the pitch but another fan invaded as Ronaldo was substituted moments later.

As Ronnie made his way off, a supporter ran across the pitch to the touchline and tried to approach him before being restrained by the stewards.

The Portuguese skipper had gone into the clash in stunning form, scoring in nine consecutive games for club and country.

But his goal rush was halted as Memphis Depay, Ryan Babel and Virgil van Dijk did the damage for the Dutch who bounced back after losing to England on Friday.
