Spain captain Alvaro Morata sustained a freak injury after their Euro 2024 semi final win over France when he was accidentally taken out by a member of security staff trying to stop a pitch invader.
Morata was celebrating with his team-mates after his side's 2-1 success when attention turned towards a fan encroaching onto the pitch.
A member of security, sprinting to stop the unwanted intruder, lost his balance on the Allianz Arena surface and careered into Morata, who immediately doubled over in pain.
