Paris Saint-Germain's (PSG) beat Arsenal in Budapest after nail-biting penalty shootout,with final score 4-3 . For fans,this was huge ah,because it became PSG's second consecutive Champions League title and also made them first French club to achieve this milestone.
Celebrations started late on May 31,2026,with thousands of fans coming out across Paris . But situation really peaked at Champs-Elysees,where around 20,000 fans had gathered by 10:30 PM . That kind of crowd energy can turn wild very fast only.
And tbh,this is where happy scenes started becoming uncomfortable.
Reports say French police arrested over 400 individuals during celebrations . There was fire at a kiosk,damage to several vehicles and at least one police officer also got injured while police were trying to control crowd . Not small thing ah,especially after last year's celebrations had already seen fatalities and injuries.
Few things standing out clearly here:
- Over 400 arrests were made as police moved in for crowd control .
- Celebratory parade is planned for Sunday,with nearly 100,000 fans expected at Champ de Mars.
- Around 22,000 officers were deployed because previous celebrations had turned dangerous .
Mayor's office of Paris's 15th arrondissement has announced celebratory parade near Eiffel Tower side,with nearly 100,000 attendees expected at Champ de Mars on Sunday . So authorities are not exactly relaxing rn,even after trophy win .
Football side of story is also massive. Under manager Luis Enrique,PSG has now added another huge title to its trophy cabinet . Club has secured total of 60 trophies since establishment,with 42 of those coming since Qatar Sports Investments arrived in 2011.
But still,one question keeps hanging there… how do you celebrate historic win without letting streets turn into danger zone again…
