Hundreds arrested in Paris clashes after PSG Champions League win

After Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) fans celebrated their club’s victory in the Champions League final, hundreds of people were detained in Paris as a result of clashes with police.

Nearly 50 000 people had watched the city’s Champs-Elysees Avenue and PSG’s Parc des Princes stadium’s 5-0 win against Inter Milan on large screens as a result of an altercation broke out after nearly 300 people were detained by police in the city’s Champs-Elysees avenue and Parc des Princes stadium.

In the wild celebrations, fireworks and flames were ignited, buses were destroyed, and cars were torched.

The majority of fans gathered in a quiet manner, many of whom sang and danced in the streets or blared their car horns.

In anticipation of the raucous celebrations, about 5,400 police officers were stationed all over&nbsp, Paris&nbsp.

According to Paris police, the majority of the nearly 300 detained were suspected of bringing about disorder and possessing fireworks.

Footage shared on social media, which hasn’t been verified by the BBC, appeared to show people trying to break into several Chanel and Foot Locker stores on the Champs-Elysées.

Riot police reportedly shot tear gas at the crowds while preventing them from reaching the Arc de Triomphe with a water cannon.

On the ring road in Paris and elsewhere, police and crowds brawl. Near PSG’s Parc des Princes stadium, at least two vehicles were torched.

Bruno Retailleau, the interior minister of France, wrote on social media that “true PSG supporters are enjoying their team’s magnificent match.

In Grenoble, south of Paris, police reported a car struck PSG fans, injuring four people, according to police outside Paris.

According to police, all of the injured were members of the same family. Two people suffered serious injuries.

Tens of thousands of supporters are expected to converge on Paris’ Champs-Elysees on Sunday to celebrate their return with a victory parade.
