The Euro 2020 football match between France and Germany at the Allianz Arena, Munich became a bit of chaos last Wednesday. While the match was in progress, a parachuter almost caused carnage after he suddenly landed on the field.
It is understood that the man who used the parachute was an activist who wanted to protest.
Footage of the incident also went viral on Twitter. Through the video, it shows he nearly crashed into the crowd, but fortunately, nobody was injured. He was then sent off before the match resumed.
The parachuter suddenly appears before kick-off, when the team is announced and the players take their positions. The collision with the spider camera cable saw the suspected activists shoot off at different angles and fly towards the stand.
Luckily, he managed to escape from any people in their seats to direct himself back to the field.
Players of both France and Germany didn’t seem too put off by the potentially devastating incident. German defenders Antonio Rudiger and Mats Hummels even helped the parachuter to stand before security coming in shortly to take the person into custody.
