Following Paris Saint-Germain's (PSG) Champions League final victory against Arsenal, widespread clashes between football fans and police across France resulted in 219 injuries, including 57 officers. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez reported that nearly 800 people were arrested, with over 450 in custody. The unrest disrupted public transportation in Paris, where thousands of officers were deployed. A fatality occurred due to an accident on Paris's ring road, which rioters attempted to block. Authorities have mobilized approximately 6,000 police for an upcoming victory parade at the Eiffel Tower and stated their intention to respond firmly to any further disturbances, citing a commitment to public order while not tolerating excesses. This follows similar violence after PSG's previous trophy win.
