A pitch invasion and efforts to break security at Wembley Stadium prior to Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund's Champions League final resulted in 53 arrests, according to London's Metropolitan Police on Saturday.

With goals from Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Jr. in the second half, Real Madrid won 2-0 and captured a record-tying 15th European Cup.
Three different people entered the field during the first minute of the game, committing a pitch invasion. Authorities said that other persons who attempted to attend the event without tickets had also been taken into custody.
"Thanks to the efforts of officers, stewards, and other stadium staff, we are confident that the overwhelming majority of attempts to unlawfully gain access to Wembley this evening were unsuccessful," a statement from Metropolitan Police commander Louise Puddefoot stated.

"Officers have made 53 arrests at Wembley — five for pitch invasion and the majority of others for attempts to breach security. Major sporting events often attract attempts by those without tickets to bypass perimeter fencing or otherwise gain entry.
"There is a robust policing operation in place to support the Wembley security plan and officers have worked closely with stewards and stadium staff to maintain security throughout."
The Wembley Stadium said it "condemned the actions" of the pitch invaders.
"All of the individuals have now been arrested. We will support the relevant authorities to ensure appropriate action is taken," a spokesperson for Wembley Stadium said.
In 2021, the Euro 2020 final between England and Italy at Wembley Stadium was marred by clashes between fans and officials in and around the venue, with several fans attempting to enter the stadium without tickets.
