Louis Kearns - Boy, 11, joins Chelsea stars in Europa League celebrations
11-year-old boy joins Chelsea players as they collect Europa League winners' medals
Sandwiched in between Fernando Torres and David Luiz in the medal procession was 11-year-old Liverpool fan Louis Kearns, who had travelled to the game with his dad and somehow ended up shaking UEFA president Michel Platini's hand in front of millions of TV viewers. The BBC reports:.
It is understood Chelsea FC has no idea how he gained access to the team.
Louis' aunt Francesca Kearns, 28, said: -I was watching the game, but I wasn't paying much attention to it. I've then seen a blond boy walk past the screen and I said 'I'm sure that's our Louis'-.
-We were just laughing about it as he seems to get himself everywhere. As Torres went up to get his medal, he was waiting behind him and we realised it was him.-
Louis was away from his father for -no longer than five or ten minutes- and was in sight of him at all times.
