PORTUGAL superstar Cristiano Ronaldo left a fan in tears after 0-0 draw with Austria at Euro 2016 on Saturday night.

And it had nothing to do with the penalty he had missed in the game either.

The Real Madrid ace missed the chance to become the first man to score in four separate Euro finals after his spot-kick crashed into the woodwork.

However, CR7 was about to make a fan’s day as trudged off Parc des Princes in Paris - with a selfie!

The man evaded security and raced towards the former Manchester United star.

And when he got to him, instead of waving the fan away, Ronaldo waived security off, and posed for a selfie.

He even helped set up the phone for the happy snapper as the security guards waited to pounce.

Once the picture was taken, the fan was collared by security, but no before he managed to breach security again – by giving Ronaldo a quick kiss on the cheek.

Then, as he was dragged away, the emotion clearly got too much and tears of happiness started to flow.

At least he had something to be happy about, unlike his Ronaldo.
