Cristiano Ronaldo may have equalled Raul's 71 Champions League goals to take him to joint second in the all-time list, but he still splits fans across Europe - or at least in Switzerland.

The Real Madrid forward was on target yet again to give his side a 1-0 win at Basle, but it didn't seem to go down well with locals, with two fans confronting him on the pitch during the game.

Stewards quickly intervened before the supporters could take up their quarrels further with the Portugal international, but it wasn't all hatred for the Madrid star.

Before the game, Ronaldo was confronted by another fan in the warm up, but this time the supporter looked starstruck as she came face-to-face with the 29-year-old.

In contrasting scenes to later on in the game, Ronaldo shared a brief hug with the fan who was close to tears as she greeted the Madrid star.

Ronaldo scored Madrid's winner in the 35th minute after he pounced on to a Karim Benzema cut-back to tuck home a finish high into the net.

Real Madrid's win in Basle came with the Spanish outfit already confirmed as table toppers in their Champions League group, and the Portugal international's goal means he has now hit an incredible 28 goals for club and country this season in just 21 games.
