Three people, including a teenaged schoolboy, have been charged with invading the pitch during the Champions League final at Wembley.

Yevhenii Lubnenko, 29, David Carneckij, 28, and a 16-year-old boy - who cannot be named for legal reasions - are accused of going on to the playing area at a football match contrary to Section 4 of the Football (Offences) Act 1991.

All three are scheduled to appear in court in the coming weeks, the Metropolitan Police has said.

The force added that inquiries continue into two other people arrested in connection with the same incident.

In total, police made 56 arrests around the Champions League final between Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid on Saturday night - most of which were for attempts to breach security.

Lubnenko, of no fixed address, will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday while Carneckij, of Walworth Road, south-east London, is due to appear at the same court on July 10.

The teenager will appear at Highbury Corner Youth Court on June 24.

The UEFA showcase between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund was stopped soon after kick-off on Saturday night after at least three fans tried to enter the pitch, two of them successfully.

The pitch invaders approached some of the players, with one of them outrunning security for some moments and almost making it back in among the fans before being caught.

Borussia Dortmund midfielder Marcel Sabitzer tackled one to the ground.  

At half-time, it was confirmed arrests had been made and a Wembley Stadium spokesman 'strongly condemned' the actions of invaders.

A Met Police spokesman said on Saturday night that the force was confident the 'overwhelming majority' of attempts to unlawfully gain access to the stadium were unsuccessful, adding that there was a 'robust' policing operation in place to support Wembley stewards and stadium staff.

The Football Association invested £5million in improving safety, security and infrastructure at Wembley in the wake of the trouble at the Euro 2020 final, when ticketless fans stormed gates to gain access to the stadium.

Stadium bosses had announced their commitment to clamp down on 'poor fan behaviour' ahead of Saturday's match.

In a statement on its website, a spokesman said: 'Wembley Stadium has echoed its commitment to clamp down on poor fan behaviour as it prepares to host a record-breaking eighth Uefa Champions League Final on Saturday June 1.

'Wembley Stadium has implemented several enhancements to its security and safety operations at recent events.

'It includes more stewards, additional ticket checks, improved fencing, new security lanes and increased enforcement of the Public Space Protection Order which exists around the stadium on event days.

'All of the changes will be in operation again on Saturday as the stadium prepares to welcome a sell-out crowd for the final between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.'

More than 2,000 police officers were on duty on Saturday, policing protests as well as the Champions League final and related fan events, the Met said.
