Norris given Champions League honour

Now, Norris has been spotted at the Champions League final, taking in a fantastic showpiece event between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.

Madrid managed to claim victory in the final, winning their 15th Champions League title, an all-time football record.

After the match, Norris was seen with match-winner Dani Carvajal, presenting the scorer of Madrid's first goal with the player of the match trophy in an unusual crossover that had fans in a frenzy on social media.

This year's final took place in Norris' home country, with Wembley hosting Madrid's 2-0 victory over the German side.

One Instagram user commented: "Lando and Dani Carvajal having the most unexpected crossover ever."
