CRISTIANO RONALDO may hate being interviewed – but he still loves a selfie.

The Portugal captain, 31, was mobbed by fans as he and his team-mates trained ahead of Wednesday's Euro 2016 semi-final showdown with Wales.

Ron threw a tantrum last month when interviewed by Portuguese TV station CMTV, and amazingly LAUNCHED a reporter's microphone into a nearby lake.

It was revealed the Real Madrid megastar had a bitter history with the station and once sued and won a case against the news outlet on grounds of invasion of privacy.

Ronaldo and his countrymen took part in training at the French national rugby team's camp in Marcoussis, near Paris.

And the former Manchester United ace, who was targeted by a pitch invader during Portugal's penalty shootout win over Poland, kept patience with hundreds of longing supporters.

He even addressed the crowd on a mic – though thankfully the pitch was nowhere near water.

Ron goes toe to toe with club pal Gareth Bale in Lyon's Stade des Lumieres, with both sides pitting for a place in the final.

The Portugal talisman has been in indifferent form this tournament, scoring twice against Hungary but failing to find the net in four other matches.

Whereas Los Blancos buddy, Bale, has fired the Dragons to an unprecedented last-eight position, notching three goals in the process.
