As per a report in The Guardian, more than 2,500 stewards will oversee the crowd attending the match between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund, while a five-million-pound investment in beefed-up infrastructure is intended to ensure the scenes that marred the Euro 2020 final at the national stadium remain consigned to the past.

During the 2020 European Championship final between England and Italy at Wembley Stadium, 2,000 ticketless home fans violently stormed past the security to get inside the venue to watch the clash.
