French police confirmed that 416 people were arrested in Paris after celebrations of Paris Saint‑Germain’s Champions League victory descended into chaos.

Thousands of fans had gathered across the capital to mark PSG’s historic win, but the festivities quickly escalated into rioting, vandalism, and violent clashes with police. Officers deployed tear gas and riot control measures to disperse crowds after property damage and assaults were reported.

The French Interior Ministry stated that the arrests were linked to offenses including public disorder, vandalism, and assault. Authorities condemned the violence, stressing that sporting victories should not compromise public safety. Investigations are ongoing, with several suspects expected to face prosecution.

PSG’s triumph, meant to be a moment of national pride, was overshadowed by one of the largest public disorder incidents in Paris in recent years, raising concerns about crowd management during major sporting events.
