WATCH: Pitch invader who kissed Cristiano Ronaldo uploads footage of incident

By now, there's a good chance you've heard all about the very important matter of Cristiano Ronaldo being kissed by a pitch-invading fan.

The incident happened as the Real Madrid star featured for Portugal in their 3-0 friendly defeat at the hands of the Netherlands in Geneva on Monday evening. Three pitch-invaders - since revealed as being Swiss comedians -  leapt over advertising hoardings and made their way on to the field during a break in play. One of the men, Samir Alic, was able to plant a kiss on Ronaldo's cheek before being ushered away by security staff. A matter of hours on, Alic, who was seen holding a mobile phone aloft as he approached Ronaldo, has posted his own footage of the incident to his official Facebook page. Here, have a look: https://www.facebook.com/samir.alic.comedie/videos/1688705177879386/ https://twitter.com/FifaZeeshan/status/978464991023165440 Ronaldo, who didn't appear too impressed by Alic's antics, was withdrawn after 68 minutes of the game after having a relatively quiet evening. Goals from Memphis Depay, Ryan Babel and Virgil van Dijk secured a win for the Dutch, who have failed to qualify for the World Cup this summer. Portugal, the reigning European champions, have been drawn in Group B for this summer's tournament. They will be joined by Iran, Morocco and Iberian neighbours, Spain.
