December 11, 2019, was a memorable day for Juventus as they secured their spot in the last 16 of the Champions League by finishing top of Group D with a 2-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored the opener, and Gonzalo Higuain sealed the win late on, but the Portuguese superstar was left angry when confronted by a fan who ran onto the pitch and pulled him aggressively as he was caught by security.

The incident occurred as Ronaldo was shaking hands with team-mates, and the fan appeared to be trying to get a selfie with phone in hand.

Ronaldo showed his displeasure by throwing his arm in the air in disgust and holding his neck as he walked away.

He then turned back towards the fan being escorted off the pitch by security and pointed to his head, questioning what he was thinking.

Despite the incident, Ronaldo's goal was a highlight of the game, as he finished off a fine move with Paulo Dybala, tapping in to open the scoring.

It is perhaps no wonder he was then left frustrated and reacted, given the big-money move to Juventus from Real Madrid and his aim to win his sixth Champions League crown.
