The fans were quickly apprehended by security, but not before one of them had managed to grab Ronaldo's phone.

Martinez said that Ronaldo was "understandably shaken" by the incident, but that he was glad that it had not ended more seriously.

"Cristiano is a global superstar and he is often the target of attention from fans," Martinez said. "But it is important that he is able to interact with his fans in a safe and controlled environment."

"I am glad that this incident did not end more seriously," Martinez added. "Cristiano is a valuable asset to our team and we cannot afford to lose him to injury."

Ronaldo himself did not comment on the incident after the match, but he did post a photo of himself on Instagram with the caption "All good."

The incident has sparked debate about the safety of footballers and the need for better security at matches.

Some fans believe that Ronaldo should not have been taking selfies with fans while the match was still ongoing. Others argue that the fans should not have been allowed to come onto the pitch in the first place.

The incident is a reminder that even the most famous and successful footballers are not immune to the dangers of playing in front of large crowds.
