Major questions over Wembley Stadium's security will be asked once again following a turbulent Champions League final that saw pitch invasions and 53 arrests.<br/><br/>Real Madrid claimed a record-extending 15th Champions League last night thanks to goals from Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Jr as they defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in European club football's annual flagship match, this year hosted in London. <br/><br/>But the event was soured for some before kick-off when fans were seen charging towards the iconic stadium and attempting to enter via the 'Club Wembley' entrance, before being pushed back and turned away by security.<br/><br/>A series of pitch invaders then ran across the turf unchallenged in the early minutes of the match, forcing a halt in play. One of the people who ran onto the pitch stopped to take a selfie with Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior in what appeared to be an online dare with a cash reward up for grabs.<br/><br/>Then, following the full-time whistle, exclusive footage obtained by MailOnline appeared to show fans streaming through a stadium side door as the trophy ceremony was underway.<br/><br/>These lapses came despite a £ 5 million ring of steel defense being put in place by the Football Association to avoid a repeat of England's Euro 2020 day of shame.<br/><br/>That final - held in 2021 having been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic - saw ticketless fans storming the gates to gain access to the stadium.<br/><br/>Footage from outside Wembley tonight showed a group of men - many of whose faces were hidden under hoods - attempting to rush the stadium entrances, in scenes reminiscent of the 2021 events, albeit not on the same scale.<br/><br/>Some could be seen getting inside the Club Wembley entrance as they broke past security but were quickly turned around.<br/><br/>As well as this, the video outside the stadium shows what appears to be men fighting on the ground.<br/><br/>To combat this, police mounted on horses rushed in as reinforcements with riot police also seen marching down the street to regain control.<br/><br/>There were chaotic scenes inside the stadium, too, when shortly after kick-off, Wembley Stadium security staff had to jump into action to remove two pitch invaders.<br/><br/>Another person then ran onto the field to the visible annoyance of some players. <br/><br/>It took four security staff to apprehend the last invader, marking a shaky start to the night. Police later said five pitch invaders had been arrested.<br/><br/>It has since been revealed that a controversial Russian streamer promised the pitch invaders who stormed the Wembley turf £300,000.<br/><br/>The troublemakers wore t-shirts promoting 'Mellstroy', a scandalous vlogger who offered the prize reward to anyone who would invade the pitch in his name. <br/><br/>In 2020, the Moscow-based streamer Andrey Burim beat up a model and smashed her head onto a table during a YouTube livestream. <br/><br/>Burim also grabbed the model, Alena Efremova, by the neck during a social media party live-streamed to his then-680,000 YouTube subscribers. <br/><br/>The attack left a traumatized Efremova
