    “Just to like build up that dog mentality and to lock in and really train like a caged animal.

    “Because, when you’re around a girl there’s a neurochemical called oxytocin that’s released and it makes you relaxed, it makes you more comfortable.
    “And for fights you need to be on edge. So Julia is not here today, I love you Julia, if you’re watching. We’re going to miss you.”

    The ex-girlfriend and accomplice of YouTube star Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, she promoted her former partner’s adult website Vitaly Uncensored when running onto the pitch in a revealing bikini during the Spurs-Liverpool clash.
    She took centre stage at Atletico Madrid’s Wanda Metropolitano when she raced across the turf in the skimpy swimwear.

    Fans rushed to see her saucy collection of snaps from around the world – many of them in little more than her Champions League final outfit.
    Explaining why she stripped off in Madrid, she wrote on Instagram: “STREAKING THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE! Life is for living, do crazy things that you will remember forever.”

    Two years before the Tottenham-Liverpool pitch invasion, she also came eighth in Miss Jetset 2017.
    More recently, though, she has shown off her impressive football skills for her followers.
    Earlier this year, Kinsey uploaded a clip of her juggling the ball, dribbling and shooting.
    She even struck one effort right into the top corner to wow those on her social media.
