Fans rush Wembley Stadium forward of Champions League ultimate

Fans have rushed past security guards and forced their way inside Wembley Stadium ahead of the Champions League final tonight between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.

Shocking footage shows a large group of people jumping over fences and pushing through ticket stalls at the iconic London stadium.

It comes despite a £5million ring of steel defence which was put in place to avoid a repeat of England’s Euro 2020 day of shame.

To add to the mayhem, a series of pitch invaders were also seen running across the turf unchallenged after kick-off.

One of the people who ran on to the pitch stopped to take a selfie with Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior. 

Here is a look at some of the fans who rushed past security to make their way inside Wembley

Two invaders were quickly removed by Wembley Stadium security staff, but then another person ran onto field to the visible annoyance of some players. 

It took four security staff to apprehend the last invader, marking a shaky start to tonight’s huge match.

Madrid are aiming to win a record-extending 15th European Cup, while Borussia Dortmund are going for its second Champions League title.
