During a break in the second half of Portugal’s Group F match against Turkey, a child wearing the red tracksuit top of his own youth league team and matching red trainers bounded onto the pitch toward Cristiano Ronaldo. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner gave 10-year-old Berat a warm welcome, grinning and stretching out his arms. Berat whipped out a mobile phone and snapped a selfie with the Portugal captain before running off again, zigzagging past two stewards to cheers from the 60,000-capacity crowd. His father, Cetin, told German newspaper Bild that his son got away with a warning for the incident.
