Croatia centre back Dejan Lovren accosted a pitch invader during Sunday’s World Cup final in Moscow.
France, who went on to win the match 4-2, led 2-1 when four protesters stormed the field in the 52nd minute.
One male protester made a beeline for Lovren and appeared to be hoping to receive a high-five, but instead found himself thrown to the floor by the Croatian Liverpool defender.
Meanwhile, a female pitch-invader reached Kylian Mbappe in the centre of the pitch and shared a double high-five with the France forward.
The four protesters, all of whom were dressed as security personnel, were then dragged off the field by stewards and police.
Russian punk rockers Pussy Riot claimed responsibility for the pitch invasion.
