Despite the post being viewed thousands of times across social media platforms, some supporters have questioned the authenticity of the post.

One fan questioned why he hadn't been found during the routine end-of-match search of the premises, stating on X: 'How did the security not find him?'

Another similarly commented: 'Why are the lights still on at 4 in the morning?'.

However, some supporters found the scenes hilarious and joked that the individual was regretting having one too many beers, with one post joking: 'I can only imagine the amount of beer he must have drunk.'
