Paris Saint-Germain will continue celebrating its Champions League victory by the Eiffel Tower on Sunday despite overnight violence in Paris and other parts of France. After the final against Arsenal, thousands of fans took to the streets, but the celebrations were accompanied by clashes with police, damage to shops, burning cars and barricades. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
French authorities reported more than 400 people detained across the country. In the Paris metropolitan area alone, according to Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez, 283 people were detained. Seven police officers were injured during the unrest, and several businesses were damaged. The Paris prosecutor's office also announced that a person driving a motocross motorcycle died on Saturday during the celebrations. El Mundo ↗
According to available information, around 20,000 people gathered on the Champs-Élysées. Following the events, the town hall of the 8th arrondissement of Paris is calling for a ban on gatherings on this avenue, arguing that the disturbances can no longer be managed, only endured. However, Nuñez described the idea of a complete ban as seemingly good but in fact problematic. Le Figaro ↗
The interior minister also stated that he sees no reason to cancel the planned victory parade at the Champ de Mars. Authorities will therefore have to combine the continuation of celebrations of PSG's historic success with strengthened security measures and an investigation into the overnight incidents. Le Monde ↗
