Two people have died and hundreds have been arrested across France, the French interior ministry says, after celebrations following Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League win descended into chaos last night
“This is just half-time for police,” the Paris police chief said as he confirmed a parade for the PSG team would go ahead on the Champs-Élysées from 17:00 local time (16:00 BST), but with an increased police presence.
More than 190 people were injured, as well as nine police officers, officials said.
Police said fireworks were directed at officers, shops along the Champs-Élysées were raided, bus shelters were smashed and cars torched as PSG won the biggest prize in European club football for the first time. [bbc]
