🎥 Chaos in Paris after PSG triumph: over 500 arrests, two dead | OneFootball

That it was going to be a scorching night was a given: the celebration for Paris’ first ever Champions League trophy is a historic occasion. However, not everything went smoothly.

The celebrations for the “big-eared” cup, however, degenerated into urban warfare, with several shops looted and cars set on fire.

The unrest, according to Gazzetta, began right after PSG’s first goal on the Champs-Elysées.

The first reports speak of 491 arrests in the city (551 if we include those detained in other French cities), with 192 injured, despite authorities having deployed 5,400 officers specifically to contain potential unrest.

Incidents also occurred in other French cities: in Pau, a group of about 50 vandals damaged a bus and a shop, while in Grenoble a car plowed into the celebrating crowd, mowing down four bystanders (three seriously injured, one in critical condition).

According to Le Parisien, there was no intent, but rather a man who lost control of his vehicle.

The worst news comes from Dax, where a 17-year-old was stabbed to death during the celebrations. Another death was recorded in the capital, where a young woman in her twenties lost her life after being rear-ended on her scooter.
