The FAI have confirmed that neither Dublin girl Addison Whelan, or her father, will not be fined for raiding the pitch following Ireland vs Portugal on Thursday night.
Footage showed Ronaldo greeting Addison
and then promptly gave her his shirt.
Addison Whelan told RTE how she jumped over the barrier after the World Cup Qualifier and ran onto the pitch to meet her hero.
“There were security guards running behind me and coming from the other corner … I ran towards the halfway line but then they caught me. I was screaming Ronaldo’s name,” she said.
He couldn’t evade Shane Duffy and he couldn’t evade this young girl, who will have the memento of Ronaldo’s shirt after giving the Portugal star a hug
