The UEFA has banned a German YouTuber who got onto the field during the European Championship opening ceremony disguised as a mascot, per the Associated Press (h/t ESPN).

Marvin Wildhage uploaded a video showing himself entering Munich stadium last Friday dressed in a fake costume and making it all the way to the field before being escorted out by a staff member.

"We can confirm that there was an incident with a fake mascot costume at the match in Munich ... between Germany and Scotland," UEFA said in a statement.
