Conor McGregor was spotted bizarrely waltzing around the Emirates pitch, long after most people had gone home.

McGregor was in attendance as Arsenal beat Paris Saint-Germain 2-0, thanks to goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka.

After the match, one clip shows him walking aimlessly around the pitch in front of ground staff.

They may not have been too happy that he was on the grass, but nobody was going to tell the former dual-weight UFC champion to get off.

Another video shows McGregor kicking a ball around with Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice.

He posed for photos with a number of the Arsenal stars as they celebrated their Champions League victory.

Despite attending the Arsenal match, McGregor is a well-known Manchester United fan.

Speaking in 2021, ‘Notorious’ said: “I was more a player than a watcher back then, but Manchester United was my team.

“It was only the other day I came across an old picture of myself wearing that infamous grey United jersey, which I bought with my [First Holy] Communion money at eight years of age.”

Fans also spotted one key detail in the videos too, the fact he was kicking a ball around.

A broken toe derailed his expected fight with Michael Chandler as his wait for a UFC return goes on.

He injured his toe in a sparring mishap and it will be in 2025 before he actually makes a comeback.

Both men agreed to rebook the fight for UFC 310 in December, but when it became clear that wouldn’t happen, Chandler agreed to rematch Charles Oliveira at UFC 309 in November instead.

McGregor is still hoping he’ll get to face the American next year.

“I’d like it to be Chandler,” he said about his UFC comeback ahead of Anthony Joshua’s KO loss to Daniel Dubois on Saturday night. “I’d like that to be squared away.

“I wish him well against Oliveira, but let’s see how it goes.”

McGregor has not fought in the UFC since 2021, when he suffered a gruesome leg fracture that caused his clash with Dustin Poirier to be stopped.
