An eleven-year-old fan invaded the pitch in a desperate attempt to meet Cristiano Ronaldo during Portugal vs Ireland, FIFA World Cup qualifying match. An 11-year- old fan made headlines on Friday after Portugal vs Ireland, World Cup Qualifiers match at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland. The 11-year-old fan identified as Addison Whelan plays for Shelbourne’s U13s and couldn’t hold herself back as the full-time whistle went off. She ran into the itch and greeted the legendary footballer with a hug. The match ended in a draw, as Portugal reached the top of the Group A standings of the FIFA World Cup European qualifiers. After the conclusion of the match, Ronaldo gifted the young fan his match shirt to make her day better. While speaking to RTE Radio 1 after the match, Whelan revealed details about what Manchester United star said while gifting his shirt to her. Explaining her daring act to evade the stewards and reach to the footballer, Addison said, “I jumped over the barrier because I was in the second row. I jumped over the first row and over the barrier. Then I sprinted onto the pitch, but there was security guards running behind me and there was another two coming from the other corner so I just kept sprinting. When I seen the other two coming from the other corner I ran more towards the halfway line so then I could swerve around them, but then they caught me." Addison Whelan was in shock as Ronaldo gave her his shirt. As she screamed Ronaldo’s name, the footballer turned and asked the stewards to let go of her. Ronaldo came near to her on being called and explaining further, the young fan said, “He came over to me. I was just in shock and crying and I was like 'can I have your jersey? Please, please. I'm a big, huge fan', He was saying are you okay? When my dad saw him taking off the shirt, my dad's face was just in shock I was like 'oh my God, this is it, this is my dream, it's finally coming true.' That was probably his last time playing in Ireland”. As revealed by Addison, Ronaldo then said to her that he appreciated that and took off his t-shirt and gifted it to the fan.

If I were Ronaldo, I would try to get back to her via any means just to change her life and her family's. Maybe give her scholarship or help her in her football profession since she is a footballer. He could give her family money to take care of her. It should not be all about giving of jersey. Since she is bold enough to approach him,he should change her life for good. She even did all these not minding what people were thinking as she ran towards him. I know she could do so because she is a child. Children are free without any form of ego. That is why a Hausa girl of 12 years can see a total stranger on the road ,run and hold his hands, something she cannot do at the age of 20. They love with innocence and genuine love unlike adults who are very egoistic and manipulative. So Ronaldo should shower that girl with love. |

 Dem suppose flog that girl 12 strokes & collect back that Jersey. If not, na so people go de invade pitch anyhow. Pitch invasion is an act of hooliganism & is an offence. Infact the girl get Agbero blood inside. |
