The fan who was jailed for invading the pitch
during the International Champions Cup match
between Real Madrid and Chelsea to hug
Cristiano Ronaldo last week has stressed that
he has no regrets over his actions.
Ronald Gjoka, 19, ran onto the pitch in the
67th minute to embrace his idol, only to be
arrested by local police and taken to jail for
trespassing and disorderly conduct.
Gjoka spent the night in prison before he was
allowed to leave the day after, yet he has
stressed that the moment was worth the
punishment.
"Honestly, first thing was look straight, find
Cristiano and don't look back. Just go," Gjoka
told Local10.
"I decided to add a little knee slide on it just
for a little celebration. I think Ronaldo always
does that celebration so I thought that he
would find it funny, and he did, he gave it a
little laugh.
"But after that, I gave him a big hug, told him
you're one of my biggest idols, always followed
you and I said, 'Please, Ronaldo, don't let the
cops take me,' and that's when Ronaldo gave
me a very big hug.
"I got the opportunity to talk to Ronaldo. It
was a unique opportunity and I had to take it.
It was worth the detention."
The Portugal international netted twice to help
Madrid to a 3-1 win over Chelsea in last
week's encounter.
