Some people will go to ridiculous lengths to meet their heroes.
Real Madrid were in Paris for their Champions League group stage game against PSG when a fan took to the pitch to embrace Cristiano Ronaldo.
We knew the Portuguese frontman was popular, but this might be taking it a bit too far.

Ronaldo seemed taken aback by the invasion, but was more welcoming than some players might have been in the situation.
It seems there was no ill will from the fan – he just wanted to meet one of the game’s greats
Ronaldo actually embraced the supporter, who was subsequently escorted off the pitch – we wonder if he would face more of the same if he makes the rumoured move to PSG from Madrid.
