The conduct of supporters around the stadium almost forced police to call the game off over security concerns
Sunday's Euro 2020 final between Italy and England was in danger of being postponed because ticketless fans broke into the stadium, Metropolitan Police said.
Stewards at Wembley were unable to prevent supporters breaking through the barricades ahead of the tournament decider.
A total of 26 people were arrested at the stadium and deputy assistant commissioner Jane Connors has praised police for their response to ensure the game went ahead.
