DORTMUND, Germany (AP) — Portugal coach Roberto Martinez says Cristiano Ronaldo should consider himself lucky to have come to no harm after being confronted by four supporters who came onto the field for selfies with the five-time world player of the year at a European Championship match.

However Ronaldo was clearly unhappy when more people tried to do the same.
