WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING
@KopitesForever joked on X: "That pitch invader has so much time in the middle of the park. Wembley's security has the same midfield as United's."
@JoeHarakis also questioned the security team at Wembley, writing: "Doesn't say much for the Wembley security team that 30 seconds into the Champions League final there's a pitch invader, followed by a period of 2 mins where another 2 people invaded the pitch."
Meanwhile, @AdamsEdema added: "You get a ticket to enter Wembley to watch a #UCLfinaljust to become a pitch invader??? Nah you have serious problems for real."
@JacobsBen said: "Marcel Sabitzer making the first tackle of the #UCLFinal… on a pitch invader, just 30 seconds in."
@peds9421 wasn't happy with the disruptors, writing: "They gotta rough up the pitch invader rn. This is some bullsh*t".

The pitch invaders made sure to make their presence known. One was seen imitating Cristiano Ronaldo's 'SIUUU' celebration, while another tried to snap a selfie with Real's Vinicius Jr.

The stunt appears to be the work of a Russian streamer called Mellstroy, who allegedly offered £300,000 to anyone who ran onto the pitch with his name on their back.
