Police arrested nearly 300 people after Paris Saint-Germain crushed Inter Milan 5-0 to win their first Champions League title. Trouble started near Champs-Elysees and Parc des Princes stadium where 50,000 fans watched the match on massive screens. Supporters threw fireworks at officers and damaged cars and bus stops across the city. Police had sent 5,400 officers throughout Paris to control the expected crowds. Most arrests happened because people carried banned items and caused public disorder.
Flares and fireworks lit up the night sky as celebrations turned violent around the famous shopping street. Rioters burned vehicles and smashed property across multiple neighborhoods. Officers said troublemakers kept attacking police with large fireworks and other dangerous objects. The city had prepared for problems but could not stop all the destruction. Paris authorities worked through the night to restore order and clean up damaged areas.
Most PSG supporters celebrated peacefully despite the chaos caused by troublemakers. Fans danced and sang team songs throughout the streets as car horns echoed across the capital. The Eiffel Tower glowed with PSG blue and red colors to mark the historic victory. Even French President Emmanuel Macron praised the team on social media despite supporting rival club Marseille. Paris became the center of European football celebration for one special evening.
