A climate change protester parachuted into the stadium and landed on the pitch before Germany’s Euro 2020 game against France.
He appeared to parasail from the roof on to the turf at the Allianz Arena in Munich using a bright yellow parachute with the slogan “Kick out oil Greenpeace” written on it.
Video posted to social media showed the protester almost crashing into spectators before gliding gently to earth.

The man was quickly met by security staff and given medical attention on the side of the field.
Kick-off in the group F match was not delayed and the game started as scheduled at 8pm UK time.
The match is regarded as a meeting of two of the tournament favourites.
France are the 2018 World Cup winners, while Germany are one of the most successful international teams of all time.
