Granada-Man Utd streaker hid for 14 hours before kickoff, police confirm

Police have confirmed that the man who ran onto the pitch during Granada's Europa League clash with Manchester United avoided security and Covid-19 protocols by hiding under a tarp for 14 hours before kickoff.

The streaker ran onto the field naked during the 10th minute of Thursday's match, throwing himself onto the field before being apprehended by police.

He has since been identified as Olmo Garcia, known by locals as "The Naked Man of Granada" due to his reputation for walking through public areas without any clothes.
