It didn’t take long for the 2024 UEFA Champions League final between Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid to be stopped, with a pitch invader making his way onto the playing field at Wembley.

Only 30 seconds into the highly anticipated match, security had to intervene as a man entered the pitch to take a selfie with Jude Bellingham. But another pitch invader also had time to show his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo by pulling off the “Siuu”, which is the Portuguese star’s trademark celebration.
