Before the big match between Atletico Madrid and Arsenal, commentator John Murray was hit by a roll of toilet paper thrown by Atletico Madrid fans while he was doing a live broadcast.
Before the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, Atletico Madrid fans threw a large number of toilet paper rolls onto the field. Arsenal had requested an on-site inspection of the venue before the match, but an even more absurd scene occurred before kick-off.
Atletico Madrid fans kept throwing toilet paper onto the field, and one roll deviated from its trajectory and hit John Murray, who was broadcasting live.
He was serving as a live commentator at the time, and studio host Mark Chapman was about to cut the camera and connection to him, but was interrupted by the accident.
You could hear the experienced commentator exclaim in surprise: "Oh my god."
He then picked up the microphone and added: "I just got hit by a roll of toilet paper."
These words made Murray, as well as Chapman, who co-hosted "Match of the Day" with Kelly Cates and Gabby Logan, burst into laughter on the spot.
TNT Sports field reporter Jules Breach revealed that she found about twenty large yellow bags inside the stadium tunnel, all filled with toilet paper ready to be thrown.
