Dortmund vs Real Madrid Champions League final pitch invaders to receive eye-watering sum from controversial Russian streamer
The Champions League final clash between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund was interrupted after 30 seconds. The game was brought to a halt when pitch invaders stormed the field at the request of a Russian streamer.
Russian streamer, Mellstroy, who's real name is Amdrey Burim has reportedly offered £300,000 to whoever could make it to the pitch during the final. For the eye watering sum of money, it is no surprise that three match goers took up the challenge and interrupted the game.
The trio were subsequently taken off the pitch by security with the assistance of Dortmund midfielder Marcel Sabitzer. Fortunately the interruption did not cause too much of a disruption to the game.
The organizers of the final between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund have taken a far sterner tone with the pitch invaders. A spokesperson for Wembley told the press:
"It is illegal to enter the field of play at Wembley Stadium, and we strongly condemn the actions of those who interrupted the UEFA Champions League Final shortly after kick-off. All of the individuals have now been arrested. We will support the relevant authorities to ensure appropriate action is taken.”
It remains to be seen what the punishment meted out to the invaders will be. Nevertheless, they will be bolstered by the fact that their stunt at least got them some money from the Russian streamer.
