Cristiano Ronaldo is a popular man. So popular, in fact, that he needs his very own Kevin Costner to protect him from excitable fans who take to the pitch for a glimpse, a touch or a blurred selfie of the Real Madrid superstar.

This oddly unnerving man has been tasked with the non-enviable job of fending off these nuisances. You can see him absolutely nailing his job after Ronaldo netted two goals in Real Madrid's 4-1 victory over Almeria on Friday night. The hired muscle gives the linesman the fright of his life with his way-too-drastic move to shield the Portuguese captain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r13v4MP6_Ok
