Following Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League victory, French authorities detained 416 people nationwide, with 283 arrests occurring in Paris. The detentions followed violent clashes and disturbances as thousands of fans celebrated the win. Approximately 22,000 police officers were deployed across France, including 8,000 in Paris, to manage the crowds and prevent unrest, a measure taken after similar incidents last year. The French Ministry of the Interior reported that seven officers were injured and that six vehicles and two businesses sustained damage. Supporters also briefly blocked traffic on the Paris ring road and set off flares.
