Fans sprinting on field to take selfies with Cristiano Ronaldo leads to increased security at Euro 2024

The "Euro Today" crew discussed Portugal's performance from Matchday 1 and whether Cristiano Ronaldo may be holding back Portugal by starting.

Fans sprinting on the field to take selfies with Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo has led UEFA to bolster security measures for the European championship. 

At least six fans have attempted to run on the field to meet Ronaldo, and UEFA announced Sunday that "additional safety measures will be deployed" in the 10 Germany stadiums where the games are being held. 

"Any incursion onto the pitch constitutes a breach of the stadium rules and will result in expulsion from the stadium, a ban from all tournament matches and the filing of a formal criminal complaint for trespass," UEFA’s announcement read.
