Cristiano Ronaldo poses for a half-time selfie after supporters breaks through security to grab a snap

SUPPORTERS will do anything to grab a photo with their footballing heroes.

Some antics are more unsuccessful than others like the fan who jumped from his seat in the stand in an attempt to meet Lionel Messi before being tackled by security.

But in Portugal's 6-0 victory over Faroe Islands on Monday, one supporter found his way past security to take a selfie with Cristiano Ronaldo as the players were emerging for the second half.

The fan was prepared with phone in hand to grab the Real Madrid superstar who scored his 66th goal for his country just before kick-off.

And Ronaldo was only too happy to oblige and put his arm around the supporter whilst he took the snap.

The fan then celebrated like he had scored a last minute winner after bagging a selfie that he will cherish for years.

It is not the first time Ronaldo has been bombarded by a supporter whilst on the field of play.

At Euro 2016 a fan ran onto the pitch to take a selfie with Ronaldo after Portugal had drawn 0-0 with Austria.

Despite the forward missing a penalty to become the first man to score in four separate Euro finals, Ronaldo was happy to pose in front of the camera before waiving security away.
