Riots, brawls, and 131 arrests: Serious incidents in Paris after PSG wins Champions League

Paris experienced significant unrest following Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League title win, with authorities reporting 131 arrests across the city. The celebrations turned chaotic, leading to 45 detentions in police stations and one officer being injured by fireworks.

To manage the large crowds and potential for disorder, French authorities implemented a reinforced security operation. A total of 22,000 police and gendarmes were deployed nationwide. The security focus was concentrated on high-traffic areas such as the Champs-Élysées and its surroundings, as well as the PSG stadium and the Place de la République.

This year's security measures were an increase compared to the previous year, indicating a proactive approach by law enforcement to contain the celebrations and prevent further incidents. The deployment aimed to ensure public safety while allowing fans to mark the team's victory, though the scale of the arrests suggests challenges in maintaining order.
