The Champions League final was plunged into chaos less than 30 seconds after kick-off.
On Saturday night, all the attention was focused on Wembley Stadium in London as Borussia Dortmund take on Real Madrid in the Champions League final.
It was billed to be one of the finest nights of the year as the likes of Kaka, Ronaldinho, Jurgen Klopp and Zinedine Zidane were all spotted in attendance.
However, the contest was thrown into chaos within one minute after the match was halted.
The stoppage came after three pitch invaders made it onto the pitch, leaving fans furious.

On social media, one fan said: “Seriously, where on earth is the security? It’s less than one minute.”
Another tweeted: “Good to see Wembley stewards are still the most useless people of all time.”
A third fan added: “Clearly not enough stewards at Wembley tonight to deal with pitch invaders - even with Dortmund wearing hi vis.”
Someone else wrote: “Stewards literally just sitting watching. Shambolic and a bad look for Wembley.”

A fifth commented: “Apparently Wembley spent an extra £5 million on security for this final.”
Another fan said: “Wembley security setting the standard again - the bar they’ve set is really low.”
A video showed that one pitch invader tried to get a picture with Madrid star Jude Bellingham in the centre circle with no stewards nearby. You can watch the footage below.
Another invader was caught doing Cristiano Ronaldo’s famous SIU celebration after also getting onto the Wembley turf unchallenged.

On TNT Sports, commentator Darren Fletcher stated that Dortmund midfielder Marcel Sabitzer stepped in to help halt the invaders.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, former Chelsea and England striker Chris Sutton said: “From the players' perspective it is about trying to stay focused and keeping their minds on the job.
“You can understand their frustration though, they worked so hard to get to the final only for people to run onto the pitch at the very start.”
