Champions League: 27 hours in the restroom to watch the final for free

Two young Belgians, Neal Remmerie and Senne Haverbeke, pulled off a stunt as daring as it was improbable: they managed to watch the Champions League final between PSG and Inter Milan for free… after hiding in the stadium’s restroom for 27 hours.

Speaking to VRT News, the two fans recounted their wild adventure. Wearing security vests to avoid suspicion, they entered the stadium the day before the match and turned a bathroom stall into their hideout. To stay under the radar, they taped an “Out of order” sign on the door. Neal Remmerie revealed:

We had snacks, our phones, but the lights were on and the position was really uncomfortable. Sleeping was impossible.

On match day, after more than a day in silence, they heard the first supporters arriving. They quietly slipped out, dodged security checks, spotted a distracted steward… and managed to sneak into the stands. Settling in the heart of the Parisian supporters’ section, they witnessed PSG’s masterclass, a 5-0 victory. "It was unreal. The greatest match of our lives," Neal concluded.

A story as wild as it is risky, and one that UEFA officials might not find amusing for long.
