Around 220 million people around the world are believed to have tuned in to watch the match on June 1, which the Spanish team won 2–0.
Five people who ran onto the pitch during the opening moments of the game were wearing T-shirts embossed with the name Mellstroy, a controversial Russian vlogger whose real name is Andrey Burim.
He went on to say, “If a photo with me or my nickname ends up on the top of Mount Everest, you will receive 45,000,000 rubles [£348,000].”
The Metropolitan Police arrested three people in the wake of the incidents on Saturday night.
Yevhenii Lubnenko, 29, is due to appear before Westminster Magistrates Court on Monday; David Carneckij, 28, has been bailed until a date next month; and a 16-year-old boy who cannot be named for legal reasons is due to appear at Highbury Corner youth court on June 24.
All three are accused of going on to the playing area at a football match contrary to Section 4 of the Football (Offences) Act 1991.
The Met said, “Enquiries continue into two other people arrested in connection with the same incident.”
In 2020 Mr. Burim, who is based in Moscow, attacked a model, Alena Efremova, and struck her head on a table during a livestream on YouTube.
He had 680,000 YouTube subscribers at the time but was banned from the platform as a result of the incident. He has since switched to Telegram, where he has 1.17 million subscribers.
Police Made Total of 56 Arrests
The police made 56 arrests before, after, and during the game, most of which were for attempts to breach security.A video which went viral showed hundreds of people attempting to break past security stewards and enter the stadium.
A Met spokesman said on Saturday the “overwhelming majority” of attempts to unlawfully gain access to the stadium were unsuccessful.
The Met put a “robust” policing operation in place to support Wembley stewards and stadium staff following the scenes at the Euro 2020 final between England and Italy in 2021.
On that occasion hundreds of ticketless fans stormed the turnstiles and managed to gain access to the stadium for the match, which Italy won on penalties.
The Football Association spent £5 million on improving safety, security, and infrastructure at Wembley and said it was committed to clamping down on “poor fan behaviour.”
More than 2,000 police officers were on duty in the capital on Saturday, policing not just the match at Wembley and fan zones in central London but also a protest by supporters of Tommy Robinson and a counter-demonstration.
In a statement on its website before the match, a stadium spokesperson said, “Wembley Stadium has echoed its commitment to clamp down on poor fan behaviour as it prepares to host a record-breaking eighth UEFA Champions League final.”
“Wembley Stadium has implemented several enhancements to its security and safety operations at recent events. It includes more stewards, additional ticket checks, improved fencing, new security lanes and increased enforcement of the Public Space Protection Order which exists around the stadium on event days,” it added.
