It is reported that Metropolitan Police made 56 arrests around the Champions League final at Wembley, mostly for attempted breaches of security – including 5 arrests of individuals who entered the pitch.

There is also information that a Real Madrid staff member was arrested following Los Blancos’ 2-0 victory. A 52-year-old woman was reportedly present to assist Real Madrid’s security operations. According to The Athletic, she got into a scuffle with stadium staff when they refused entry to some family members of Real Madrid players onto the Wembley pitch for celebrations.

The individual involved was detained for several hours before being released pending further investigation.
