  • Lamine Yamal cut the dressing-room livestream immediately after noticing Wojciech Szczesny on camera, saying, “This can’t be recorded.”
  • Short clips from the brief recording spread quickly across social media following the final.
  • Wojciech Szczesny has previously faced club sanctions over smoking, including a fine at Arsenal and being dropped by Roma in 2015.
