This footage shows the moment fans seemingly tried to 'storm' into Wembley ahead of the Euro 2020 final between England and Italy.
The clip was captured by the Birmingham Mail's Aston Villa correspondent Ashley Preece a couple of hours ahead of tonight's 8pm kick off.
Members of the national media made reference to similar troubling scenes ahead of the tournament decider.
At 5.44pm, Dominic King of the Daily Mail tweeted: "If you are coming to the game tonight and you have tickets, please be careful. There have just been two separate incidents of crowds trying to storm into the stadium.
"Wembley Way doesn’t have the kind of atmosphere you would want on an occasion such as this."
He later added: "More of this. It’s appalling. Not enough police and security guards being overwhelmed."
The Telegraph's Sam Wallace posted another video and said: "Febrile atmosphere at Wembley. This is near the main entrance to Club Wembley a few minutes ago where it looked like a group of fans broke through the security cordon.
"Stewards currently chasing people around. Not sure they’ll get all the way to the wine and canapés.
"Just seen another fan jump down a 20 foot+ wall to try to get into the inner cordon near the media entrance. He’s telling the stewards escorting him away he had his ticket stolen.
"At the end of Wembley Way close to the stadium and its packed. Bottles and cans underfoot and the smell of smoke flares strong. Beery and boisterous. Stewards now ramping up security and more metal barriers being pulled out."
Tariq Panja of the New York Times reported: "Wembley was briefly locked down...[p]olice on horseback brought in to deal with the situation. Stadium security very jumpy".

While Alex Kay-Jelski of the Athletic posted on Twitter: "Gates being stormed at Wembley time and time again.
"Hundreds of people each time. Stewards just can’t contain them. Gates being locked. Pretty tense atmosphere".
The final kicks off at 8pm, and is being shown live on both BBC One and ITV in the UK.
