Now The Streaker obviously enjoys a good old fashioned punter running naked across the playing field dodging security guards and players alike as they claim their 15 minutes of fame.

But the scenes in yesterday's game between Real Madrid and Roma may have just been a bit too far, as dozens of fans rushed the pitch halting play and causing frustration for the players and the remaining 57,000 fans still in the stands.

The Streaker would have loved to have seen Brad Hempopo, the security guard who received worldwide criticism for his tackle on a streaker at an All Blacks game earlier this year, deal with this lot.

For those actually interested in the result, Roma went on to win 1-0 on the back of a Francesco Totti goal.
