The start of tonight’s Euro 2020 game between France and Germany in Munich was disrupted by a protestor parachuting into the stadium.
The incident occurred just moments before kick-off and could’ve ended badly.
Video shows the man parachuting in, getting caught up in the spider cam cables over the top of the arena and very nearly clattering into the crowd.
He did land on the pitch as the players were awaiting kick-off and was led away by guards.
There was a Greenpeace slogan on his yellow parachute.
Can’t believe I just caught this on video. Parachuted into the stadium, got caught in the spider cam and nearly crashed into the crowd. Hope he’s ok! #GERFRA #EURO2020 pic.twitter.com/PJ49WYdFM9
