Thousands of Paris Saint-Germain supporters took to the streets of Paris to celebrate their club's Champions League victory. The festivities began even before the match against Inter Milan concluded. However, as the evening progressed, the atmosphere turned grim, with riots breaking out in several locations.

PSG defeated Inter Milan 5-0 in Munich, securing their first-ever Champions League title. Tens of thousands of fans celebrated across the city, but the mood shifted on the Champs-Élysées, where clashes with police occurred. According to Le Parisien, at least 131 arrests were made.

Police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse crowds. A Foot Locker store was vandalized, and looting attempts were reported in multiple shops. The unrest subsided around 3:00 AM after riot police cleared the area.

Elsewhere in the city, PSG fans clashed with authorities, with cars set on fire and smoke bombs detonated. The Eiffeltower was lit in PSG's colors—blue and red—to mark the occasion.

French Interior Minister Retailleau condemned the riots, while PSG urged fans to celebrate responsibly. President Macron praised the team's achievement without addressing the violence.
