A STREAKER ran naked onto the pitch during Thursday night’s Europa League clash in Spain despite the match being played behind closed doors.
No fans were allowed into the stadium in Granada, southern Spain to watch the quarter-final between Manchester United and Granada.
The heavily bearded man with wild hair ran on the pitch completely naked, not even wearing a mask, and it is a mystery as to how he got there.
He was identified in the Spanish media as Olmo Garcia.
Covid-19 restrictions mean the match was played in front of empty stands, although Granada fans had gathered outside the stadium and set of flares ahead of the game.
He sauntered across the pitch just as the match got underway then lay on the ground and rolled around before being apprehended by police.
However his streak was caught on camera before he was approached by officers and taken away.
In fact the man is probably Spain’s most famous nudist and his bare-all stunts have made headlines before.
He was recently pictured on the slopes in just his birthday suit in the nearby Sierra Nevada ski resort and last year was pictured naked, perched on a ledge on Granada’s cathedral where he had to be brought down by firemen in a cherry picker.
He insists that his nudity is a statement of peace that “makes him a better person”.
