In an unusual turn of events during the Europa League quarter-final match between Granada and Manchester United, an intruder ran onto the pitch at the Nuevo Los Carmenes stadium, causing a brief disruption. The incident occurred in the 7th minute of the game on April 8, 2021.
The intruder, who was naked and had a lush mane, performed somersaults on the grass before being escorted off the field by the police. His presence disrupted Granada's attack and temporarily halted the game.
A photograph of the incident was shared widely on social media platforms, including RMC Sport. However, the photograph does not provide any new information about the intruder or the reasons for his actions. It does not show any specific incident or individual within the stadium, nor does it indicate the time at which the free kick was taken or if the wall in the photograph belongs to either Granada or Manchester United.
The match took place with COVID-19 restrictions, resulting in an empty stadium. Despite the unexpected interruption, the game resumed shortly after, with both teams continuing their battle on the field.
