A pitch invader made his way onto the pitch during a break in play while wearing a Juventus strip with Ronaldo 7 on the back.
Ronaldo stopped the onrushing security to take a picture with the starstruck fan.
The fan was then taken off the pitch in tears after getting the chance of a photo with his idol.
Ronaldo’s hat-trick caught many eyes but his second goal was easily his best strike.
The 34-year-old picked up the ball outside the area and unleashed a lovely long ranged effort that bent past Ernestas Setkus in the Lithuania net.

Pizzi, Gonçalo Paciência and Bernado Silva also got on the score sheet.
The hat-trick was the perfect way to respond after a difficult week for the Portugal captain who was subbed off in Juventus’ last two games.
