But just a minute into the match, the game was interrupted when three people flooded the pitch.

Security spent minutes chasing them before pinning them to the ground.

And one of them was even stopped by Dortmund midfielder Marcel Sabitzer.

The trio wore shirts with the word ‘Mellstroy’ on the front and back.

It later turned out that he is a controversial Russian blogger and streamer, whose real name is Andrey Burim.

He was arrested in late 2020 for attacking a model, Alena Efremova, on a live broadcast.

And before the game he allegedly offered fans £300,000 to storm the Wembley pitch wearing his name on their clothes.

It means the three people who took to the field are in line for a big payday, although it is yet to be confirmed whether they will each pocket £300,000 or split the fee between them.
