Celebrations after PSG’s Champions League win spiraled into violence across France, leading to 559 arrests, including 491 in Paris, and 192 injuries, among them 22 police officers and 7 firefighters. Riots involved burned vehicles, looting, and vandalism, with clashes between fans and police in hotspots like the Champs-Élysées.

Amid the unrest, two people lost their lives—a 17-year-old was stabbed to death in Dax, while a 23-year-old died in a scooter crash on the outskirts of Paris. In Grenoble, four PSG fans from one family were hit by a car; two remain critical.

To contain the unrest, authorities mobilized 5,400 officers who used tear gas and water cannons to disperse the crowds. French officials condemned the violence, calling it “barbaric,” while President Macron praised PSG’s win and plans to host the team at the Élysée Palace.
