England fan 'wakes up shivering at 4am in deserted Schalke stadium' after watching Three Lions secure opening Euro 2024 victory against Serbia

An England fan looking worse for wear has shared bizarre footage reportedly waking up inside the Veltins-Arena after England's win over Serbia.

The shivering supporter found himself still inside FC Schalke 04's stadium on Monday morning and shared footage of him inside the upper stands of the empty ground.

England survived the momentary threat of a Serbia comeback in their opening Euro 2024 match as Jude Bellingham's brilliant first-half header earned Gareth Southgate's a crucial victory.

The post has since gone viral, with fans amazed at how the individual found themselves stranded in the ground given the enhanced security measures in place around the competition.

Speaking to the camera as he panned around an empty stadium, the England fan said: 'I've just woken up. It's four o'clock in the morning. I'm shivering in Schalke's ground.'

Temperatures dropped to around 14C degrees in the early hours of Monday morning, with the fan complaining of the cold he experienced while dressed in a hoodie.

The video footage shows a barren 62,000 capacity stadium with no stewards or staff to be seen, but the floodlights have remained on.

Despite the post being viewed thousands of times across social media platforms, some supporters have questioned the authenticity of the post.

One fan questioned why he hadn't been found during the routine end-of-match search of the premises, stating on X: 'How did the security not find him?'

Another similarly commented: 'Why are the lights still on at 4 in the morning?'.

However, some supporters found the scenes hilarious and joked that the individual was regretting having one too many beers, with one post joking: 'I can only imagine the amount of beer he must have drunk.'
