Champions League final pitch invader who disrupted Liverpool's match against Tottenham discovers punishment

Kinsey Wolanski has reportedly received a €15,000 (£13,278) fine after running onto the pitch during the Champions League final in Madrid.

Liverpool claimed their sixth European Cup after defeating Tottenham 2-0 during the match in the Spanish capital.

Play was halted shortly after Mohamed Salah gave the Reds the lead after scoring from the spot following a Moussa Sissoko handball from a Sadio Mane cross.

Stewards quickly escorted Wolanski off of the field but that brief appearance has seen her gain attention across the world.

Images showed her attire featured the words 'Vitaly Uncensored' - which is a reference to Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, a Russian-American YouTube personality.

And  Marca  report that the 22-year-old has now received further punishment for her antics and has been handed a €15,000 (£13,278) fine.

According to the Spanish publication, the fee constitutes a €5,000 (£4,426) fine from UEFA for running onto the pitch and a €10,000 (£8,852) penalty from police for illegally advertising her boyfriend's website.

However, it is believed that the sum is a very small one in context, with some reports claiming that the stunt gave the website around £3 million worth of free advert revenue.

Wolanski also saw her profile rise as a result of the stunt, with her  Instagram  page growing from 300,000 followers to 2.4 million before it was taken down.
