Portugal coach Roberto Martínez urged supporters not to invade the pitch to get to Cristiano Ronaldo against Georgia on Wednesday after confirming the forward will start the Group F fixture at Euro 2024.

Willy Sagnol looks ahead to Georgia's clash with Portugal, with the underdogs needing an unlikely win to progress to the knockouts. " is a very experienced player who has been with the national team for over 20 years," Martínez said in a news conference on Tuesday.

A teenage boy then attempted to repeat the stunt 15 minutes later, but Ronaldo threw his arms in the air and waved him away before security stopped the youngster. Portugal have won both their games at Euro 2024 and are already into the round of 16, but Martínez will resist the urge to rest Ronaldo against Georgia as the player seeks the goal that will make him the oldest scorer in the history of the finals."I can tell you that Ronaldo will be in the starting lineup," Martínez confirmed."It's important to keep his competitive level high. It's not good to start and stop.
