Chaos in Paris: PSG Fans' Celebrations Turn Violent After Champions League Win Paris erupted in chaos overnight as tens of thousands of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) fans took to the streets to celebrate their team's historic 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League final. What began as jubilant celebrations quickly devolved into widespread unrest, as videos posted to social media showed fans clashing with police, setting fires, and launching fireworks and flares near the Parc des Princes stadium. Authorities launched emergency operations as dozens of fires broke out across the capital. "It was unbelievable," said one eyewitness, who wished to remain anonymous. "The streets were flooded with people, and then suddenly everything went crazy. Flares were everywhere, and cars were on fire." Around 5,400 police officers were deployed to control the situation, using tear gas to disperse the crowds. More than 130 arrests were made during the unrest. Despite the violence, the overwhelming majority of fans celebrated peacefully. The city's historic victory brought immense joy to many, a testament to the power of football to unite and inspire.
