CRISTIANO RONALDO was grabbed by a pitch invader amid a shocking security breach at the Nations League semi-final.
Desperate stewards scrambled to intervene when a fan got on the pitch as the Portugal superstar warmed up to take on Germany.
A determined fan got all the way out to Cristiano Ronaldo
Ronaldo appeared shocked at first but then acted to calm the situation
The intruder was eventually restrained by four men
Ronaldo at first looked stunned when the intruder got his hands round him at Bayern Munich‘s Allianz Arena.
The young male supporter was then held back by two people.
And another security staff member rushed in to help keep the fan away from the 40-year-old legend.
At the same time, a now-calm Ron put out his arm towards the man, as if to settle the situation down even further.
But the fan was then tackled to the ground by FOUR stewards before being led away.
It was at the same venue where hordes of Paris Saint-Germain fans swarmed on following last Saturday’s 5-0 Champions League final victory over Inter Milan.
Security staff failed to stop the invasion, with supporters ripping out chunks of the turf as souvenirs and tearing down goal-frames.
Wednesday’s intrusion came after the start of the Nations League match had been held up for 10 minutes when a storm marred visibility.

Uefa said in a statement: “Kick-off delayed due to adverse weather conditions affecting the warm-up of the teams.”
Ronaldo was in the Portugal line-up alongside Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes, who has just rejected a £200million move to Al-Hilal.
And ex-Old Trafford hero Ron, didn’t seem too affected by his pre-match disturbance.
He was involved in a few of Portugal’s most dangerous moments during a patchy and goalless first half, although he was not as sharp as he would have liked.
Club-wise, Ronaldo’s future is uncertain, with Al-Nassr still hoping to keep the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
