Wembley Stadium will host the largest security operation in its history for the Champions League final.

On Saturday, Wembley Stadium will have the largest stewarding operation in its history to guarantee that the Champions League final does not replicate the disastrous events of previous years.

The past two Champions League finals in Paris and Istanbul both caused problems for fans, while the Euro 2020 final at Wembley Stadium three years ago was also marred by major chaos.

The circumstances during the Euro 2020 final triggered an investigation by Baroness Casey, and the Football Association claims lessons have been learned.

The FA and UEFA have collaborated to guarantee that such incidents do not occur again this Saturday, when Borussia Dortmund face Real Madrid at Wembley Stadium.

More than 2,500 stewards will be on duty, the most ever at Wembley Stadium, and there will be a huge policing operation both inside and outside.

Since the Euro 2020 final, £5 million has been committed to upgrade Wembley Stadium's safety and security infrastructure. These improvements include stronger doors and new fences, as well as an increase in the number of body cameras for stewards.

A new control room has been established, which can monitor 'Zone X' - the area outside of Wembley. It implies that security personnel can monitor the movements of spectators outside the stadium in case violence arises.

Wembley has been testing safeguards during games this year in preparation for Saturday's final, and all of them were in place for last weekend's FA Cup final between Manchester City and Manchester United.

Fans on Saturday will have their tickets checked twice before entering the turnstiles, which will open four hours before kickoff.

Normally, they open two hours before the game, but this has been extended, and there will be food and drink incentives inside the stadium for those who arrive early.

Both clubs' fan zones have been established in London, with Dortmund's located in Hyde Park and Real Madrid's on Victoria Embankment.

"What I will say is, I can't sit here and say that when you watch the Netflix documentary, you can't help but feel incredibly sad that this was not a fair or right day for many people - be it the staff working here or the fans who genuinely had tickets," said Chris Bryant, The FA's Tournaments, Events, and Interim Stadium Director.

"It was a challenging and unpleasant day, and it was not how I thought we should have ended the campaign.

“A massive amount of work has gone into this with the staff and this team and stakeholders, and I think that is why we have got is much buy-in.

"I believe everyone considers this an event of national significance. It is a chance to sort of prove and show that London is exceptional at producing huge events.

"Wembley is a great place to host big football games, and we want to prove that again on Saturday.

"We can only control what we can control, and we must do everything we can to put ourselves in the best possible position. I believe we have accomplished that this time around."
