10:07 p.m.: A moment of shock for Cristiano Ronaldo: As he was about to run into the changing room after the European Championship match between Portugal and Georgia, his bodyguard suddenly had to act very quickly. A fan who probably wanted to be close to his idol jumped from the stands into the corridor where Ronaldo was trying to disappear. And in doing so, he almost knocked the star footballer out. Only because the bodyguard courageously intervened did this incident end without consequences for Ronaldo. How the jumper is doing is unknown.

2.30 am: On Wednesday evening, a man was fatally injured in a traffic accident at Hermannplatz in Berlin-Neukölln on the sidelines of Turkey fans’ celebrations. A spokesman for the situation service told t-online that the man was hit by a sports car and succumbed to his injuries at the scene of the accident.

0.10 am: There was an altercation with injuries during the public viewing in the fan zone on Stuttgart’s Schlossplatz on Wednesday evening. According to initial findings, a knife was also used, the police announced on Platform X. A short time later, it was announced: “The Schlossplatz is now largely empty and there is NO current danger here.” A 25-year-old suspect was arrested in the evening. A tip portal has been set up where witnesses can upload their pictures, videos and tips.

The altercation occurred during a public viewing of the Czech Republic-Turkey match. Turkey won 2-1 and thus struggled to make it to the round of 16.

Before the last European Championship preliminary round match in Stuttgart, a storm interrupted the public viewing on the Schlossplatz – but the area was only evacuated for a short time. The fans on the Marktplatz and Karlsplatz were asked to seek shelter in buildings because of the storm. The public viewing on the Schlossplatz has space for up to 30,000 fans.
