On December 12, 2019, Juventus secured a crucial 2-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring the first goal and Gonzalo Higuain netting the second.
However, the match was marred by a heated exchange between Ronaldo and a pitch invader, who pulled the Portuguese superstar by the neck after refusing a selfie.
According to eyewitnesses, the fan had been trying to get a selfie with Ronaldo, but the Juventus striker refused, leading to the fan's aggressive behavior.
Ronaldo became furious and turned his back towards the fan, who was whisked away by security and pointed to his head.
Gianluigi Buffon quickly intervened, hugging Ronaldo as both players laughed off the incident on the pitch.
