During the Champions League final game between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund, fans stormed Wembley and got into a fight with police, leading to the arrest of over 50 fans.

Before the game, a shocking video captured a large crowd of individuals storming through ticket booths and jumping over fences at Wembley Stadium.

Dortmund put on a great show at a loud Wembley, but the Spanish team prevailed 2-0 and won their 15th Champions League trophy.

The victory did not come without a negative pregame incident that resulted in spectators having a go at the cops.

A £5 million ring of steel fortification was installed to prevent a repetition of England's embarrassing day at Euro 2020, but the turmoil off the field still occurred.

However, despite the presence of over 2,000 police officers to oversee the final, the breakout fight still happened.
