Champions League Final Disrupted by Pitch Invaders and Flares in Wembley Security Breach

Jun 1, 2024, 07:39 PM

The Champions League final at Wembley was disrupted within the first minute of play due to multiple pitch invaders. Three spectators managed to evade security and enter the field, causing the match to be halted just 30 seconds after kick-off. One of the invaders took selfies with players Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr. Dortmund star Marcel Sabitzer intervened during the incident. This security breach occurred despite the FA spending £5 million on a 'ring of steel' operation to enhance security measures. Additionally, flares and pyro were reported during the event.
