Fan faces jail after going into Wembley VIP area
Steven Carruthers and his four-year-old son mingled with fashion model Naomi Campbell and heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk at the game between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund in June last year.
Willesden Magistrates' Court in London heard the pair were in an area not open to the general public where hospitality packages cost £21,800 "at the lowest".
Carruthers, 34, from Hull has pleaded guilty to one count of obtaining services dishonestly.
Prosecutor Rachna Gokani told the court: "The defendant involved his young son who was four years old at the time in order to assist his illegal entrance into the stadium.
"He was wearing a suit for the specific purpose of looking like he was entitled to these services."
Ms Gokani said Carruthers went on to "advertise his offending" in a national newspaper, "essentially boasting about gaining entry - something he said he had done previously".
Quoting a probation officer who met Carruthers prior to the hearing, Ms Gokani added: "He had no shame or remorse and was clearly proud of what he had accomplished."
Ms Gokani said the offending and its subsequent "advertisement" in the national press posed security risks for Wembley Stadium and prompted the Football Association to bring a prosecution.
Carruthers, who represented himself in court, apologised after he was told the offence carried a maximum sentence of three years in jail.
"I'm regretful of what I did. It really does worry me about jail, to be honest," he said.
"I don't really want to ruin my kids' future."
He told the panel as he left the dock: "I think it's excessive. I've not hurt anyone."
Sentencing will be at Harrow Crown Court on a date to be fixed.

Cristiano Ronaldo proposes to his longtime girlfriend with massive engagement ring
Cristiano Ronaldo put a (huge) ring on it. The soccer superstar has gotten engaged to his longtime girlfriend Georgina Rodríguez. Rodríguez shared the engagement news on Instagram Monday, posting a picture of a gigantic diamond ring on her left hand. 'Yes, I do,' Rodríguez wrote in a caption translated from Spanish. 'In this and in all lives.' Ronaldo and Rodríguez met in 2016 at a Gucci store in Madrid, Spain, where Rodríguez worked at the time. They began dating shortly after, going public with their relationship in 2017. The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Alana, in November 2017. They then had twins, daughter Bella and son Ángel, in April 2022, but Ángel tragically died at birth. Rodríguez has also helped raise Ronaldo's three other children — Cristiano Jr., who was born in June 2010, and twins Eva and Mateo, a daughter and son born via surrogate in June 2017. Ronaldo, 40, is entering his fourth season with Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr. The former Real Madrid, Manchester United and Juventus star is a five-time Ballon d'Or winner who's hoisted five Champions League trophies. He also won a European championship with Portugal in 2016. Ronaldo is soccer's all-time leading goal scorer at both the international level with 138 goals and overall with over 930 combined career goals between club and country.

Raskin affected by 'uncertainty' over Rangers future
Rangers midfielder Nico Raskin has been impacted by "uncertainty" over his future at the club, according to head coach Russell Martin. The Belgium international has been linked with big money moves away from Ibrox and Martin concedes that contact from external parties has had an effect. "There's been a bit of uncertainty about him this summer, for sure," Martin said before Tuesday's second leg of the Champions League third qualifying round tie at Viktoria Plzen. "Not from people ringing us, but I think from people ringing him, definitely. "I think that's affected his approach, not in terms of professionalism and stuff, but he's a young man, of course it's going to have an impact at some point." Rangers 'can't ease off' despite three-goal lead - Martin 'No quick fix' as Martin faces familiar Rangers problems Martin 'won't lose sleep' over Rangers team leak Raskin started the first three games of Rangers' season, but was left out of the starting XI for the first leg of the tie against Viktoria Plzen, which Martin's side won 3-0 at Ibrox. The 24-year-old was again benched for Saturday's Premiership match against Dundee, but impressed as a substitute in the 1-1 draw. Martin expressed his delight at how Raskin has responded to being dropped. "He came out of the team for reasons that me and him spoke about, and his reaction has been top, like really, really brilliant," he said. "He's a really fantastic player, and he's a young man that I'm getting to know all the time, and actually I really like his character and personality. "It's my job to make sure, playing for this football club, whoever you are, the demands are really clear, in whatever position you play." 'Hopefully we can get to end of window' When asked if he expects Raskin to stay at Rangers beyond this summer, Martin said it would take a "mind-blowing" offer for the Ibrox club to consider selling one of last season's standout performers. "I don't think we're in a position where we have to sell anyone," Martin said. "I don't think we're in a position where we want to lose some of the best performers last season, that we think can become really top performers for us moving forward. "Unless someone comes in and blows our minds and everyone decides, the player, the club, that it's the best for everyone - and then we can make sure we're in a position to replace them with someone else. "It's the same for any club in world football now. I don't think there is a club that's immune to that really. "Hopefully, we can get to the end of the window. He's played brilliantly. The window shuts, he's still here, and then we can keep improving and keep kicking on."
