Play was halted as security staff moved in the tackle the three men, while Dortmund midfielder Marcel Sabitzer also helped to detain one man who was tackled to the turf.
One of the pitch invaders also approached Madrid winger Vinicius Jr for a selfie.
All three men were wearing T-shirts with the name ‘Mellstroy’, which is the name of a famous Russian internet streamer.
