LONDON (AP) — The Champions League final was halted inside the first minute because of pitch invaders, with one taking a selfie with Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior on Saturday.
The final between Madrid and Borussia Dortmund was stopped almost immediately after kickoff.
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.
Madrid was aiming to win a record-extending 15th European Cup, while Borussia Dortmund was going for its second Champions League title.
