There has been a recent spate of pitch-invaders at matches around the world, and to be fair to the game's top players, they seem to be taking it well.

Cristiano Ronaldo was the latest one to stay classy during Saturday's match inGranada—a 4-0 Real Madrid win—when a young fan decided to start hugging him and then refused to let go. 

Ronaldo humoured the fan before security guards finally took over while it looks like Sergio Ramos also had to endure a hugging session. 

Nice behaviour by the Real stars, but with pitch-invaders increasingly being treated so nicely, surely it only encourages more people to follow their lead?

And you have to worry about the day somebody has more dangerous intentions than a mere hug.
