Paris on High Alert: Massive Security Operation for Champions League Final

Paris Implements Extensive Security Measures for Champions League Final Paris is bracing for the Champions League final with an unprecedented security operation. Authorities have deployed 5400 police and gendarmes throughout the city, focusing on areas surrounding the Champs-Élysées. Many businesses along the Champs-Élysées will be closed from Saturday evening until Monday morning to mitigate potential risks. Eleven metro and RER stations in the vicinity have also been temporarily closed. "5400 policiers et gendarmes, commerces fermés, pas de fan zone à Paris," stated the reporter in the video, highlighting the scale of the operation. The absence of free fan zones, a decision made by the Prefecture, is a notable departure from previous years. This measure aims to prevent large gatherings and potential security breaches. The video also showed footage of previous incidents near the Champs-Élysées after a PSG match, illustrating the need for heightened security. The authorities are clearly taking a proactive approach to ensure a smooth and safe event. If PSG wins, a victory parade is planned for Sunday afternoon on the Champs-Élysées, with a capacity of 110,000 people. A possible reception at the Élysée Palace by President Emmanuel Macron is also anticipated. The comprehensive security measures demonstrate Paris's commitment to safeguarding both the event and the city's residents. The successful execution of this plan will be a testament to Paris's preparedness for major international events.
