Georgina Rodriguez, Cristiano Ronaldo's partner, watched Portugal's Saturday victory over Turkey (3-0) from the stands. "CR7" owns a special aircraft—the Gulfstream G650—for which he paid 73 million dollars.

There could be only one favourite in the match held in Dortmund, Portugal versus Turkey. The Iberian Peninsula team secured a decisive 3-0 victory, guaranteeing themselves a place in the Round of 16 of Euro 2024 from the top position in Group F. Fans saw three goals. Still, one was unique as it was scored by... a Turkish player.

Georgina Rodriguez watched Saturday's match from the stands, having watched Portugal's first match at home with her family.

This time, she flew to Dortmund on Cristiano Ronaldo's private jet. The Portuguese star owns a Gulfstream G650, for which he paid 73 million dollars.

The jet has three large cargo holds and can carry between 80 and 100 pieces of luggage. It can also transport up to 18 passengers and has a range of 7,000 nautical miles, about 8,052 miles.

Interestingly, Georgina Rodriguez's post was liked by nearly 2.3 million people within six hours.

Ronaldo a hero among fans

Cristiano Ronaldo did not score on Saturday but provided an assist. Nevertheless, he was still the biggest star. A young fan ran onto the field to take a souvenir photo with his idol.

The boy impressed the Dortmund audience and received loud applause for his daring action. The CR7 fan quickly reached the centre of the field, fulfilled his dream, and then outmanoeuvred security, almost returning to the stands.
