TikTokers spent 27 hours in stadium toilet to watch Champions League final for free
A pair of Belgian TikTokers say they spent 27 hours in an Allianz Arena toilet last weekend before watching Paris St Germain beat Inter Milan in the Champions League final for free.
Neal Remmerie and Senne Haverbeke told VRT News they managed to get into the Munich stadium the day before the match and hid in a toilet cubicle.
After sticking a homemade "Out of Order" sign on the door, the pair waited in silence for more than a day as stadium staff used the facility.
"We had a backpack with snacks and we played around on our phones to kill time," Remmerie told the Belgian public broadcaster.
"The lights were on all the time and the sitting position was uncomfortable, so sleeping was almost impossible. That made it physically and mentally difficult."
Once they heard fans starting to use the toilets on matchday, the pair left their bolthole and made their way past ticket inspectors to join the 86,600 crowd in the stands.
"We looked carefully at which security guard was paying the least attention. While on the phone and with food in our hands, we just walked on, and suddenly we were inside," Remmerie added.
"PSG won 5-0 and we were also in the supporters' section of the winning team. It was the most beautiful football match we have ever seen."
The Allianz Arena and UEFA did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
Those fans who made their way into the match more conventionally had to pay anywhere from 90 to 950 euros ($100-$1,100) for their tickets.

Tuchel wants Bellingham to inspire, not intimidate England team-mates
ENGLAND MANAGER Thomas Tuchel is determined to harness Jude Bellingham's 'fire' to his side's advantage rather than the Real Madrid star intimidating team-mates or raging at referees. Tuchel suffered his first defeat in four games as England boss on Tuesday when Senegal became the first African side to ever beat the Three Lions in a 3-1 friendly win. Bellingham thought he had made it 2-2 late on at Nottingham Forest's City Ground, only for the goal to be controversially disallowed before Senegal broke away for a third in stoppage time. Tuchel had to restrain Bellingham's protests at the decision at full-time and said it is a balancing act to retain the 21-year-old's fight without it bubbling over. 'He has a certain something and brings an edge. It's needed if we want to achieve big things,' Tuchel told talkSPORT. 'It needs to be channelled towards the opponent and towards our goal, and not to intimidate team-mates or be aggressive towards team-mates or referees, but always on winning. Advertisement 'He has the fire — I don't want to dim that, he should play with that as that's his strength. 'But the fire comes also with some attribute that can intimidate team-mates. Sometimes you see the explosion towards referees and the anger in his game. 'If he can channel this in the right way, he has something that we need, and that edge is hard to find.' Tuchel, who won the Champions League at Chelsea and league titles with Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, was hired with the task of ending England's wait for a major tournament victory since 1966. Under Gareth Southgate, they reached the final of each of the last two Euros, plus a quarter-final and semi-final of the past two World Cups. Tuchel has a richly talented squad to choose from, but has so far failed to find the right blend in three underwhelming World Cup qualifying wins over Albania, Latvia and Andorra before the Senegal defeat. 'I already have an idea of what to do,' he added with one year to go till the 2026 World Cup begins. 'We did some experiments in the second camp, not everything was bad, we did some good things, but the two games were not good enough. 'It was a good learning and it brings clarity. Each game is a learning situation and helps us mould the team and find solutions.' Meanwhile, Tuchel would be keen to extend his deal and lead England into Euro 2028 even if they do not win next summer's World Cup. 'I will always be tempted to stay because I love the group and I love the opportunity,' he said. 'It's an honour to be English head coach. 'I know what's coming after (the World Cup), a huge tournament in England. I will always be tempted. I can tell you that even after the disappointing result yesterday.' – © AFP 2025 Additional reporting by Press Association
