The 33-year-old continued his recent rich vein of form with a brace against Egypt last week, but was unable to repeat the trick against the Dutch in Geneva.

Ronald Koeman’s side were 3-0 up after 45 minutes and after the break the Real Madrid star was approached by a pitch invader who tried to kiss him and then take a selfie.

Another supporter, wearing a Real Madrid shirt, then ran on to the pitch and hugged Ronaldo.

He posed for a photograph as a mate held the camera before security intervened.

The Portuguese skipper had gone into the clash in stunning form, scoring in nine consecutive games for club and country.

But his goal rush was halted as Memphis Depay, Ryan Babel and Virgil van Dijk did the damage for the Dutch who bounced back after losing to England on Friday.
