(ANA-MPA) -- A 26-year-old Iraqi was identified on Thursday as the man
who rushed onto the pitch of a Panathinaikos FC-Barcelona FC football
game on Wednesday evening at the Athens Olympic Stadium (OAKA), a match
for the Champions League.
The man was detained by stadium security staff and turned (ANA-MPA)

towards Barcelona and Argentine national team superstar Lionel Messi.
Police said the man retains a temporary residence card and has
submitted a request for political asylum.

70,000 fans. (ANA-MPA)
