After the victory of Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, on Saturday, May 30, 2026, thousands of fans gathered in several points of Paris, notably on the Champs-Élysées and around the Parc des Princes, to celebrate this historic success. The festive atmosphere quickly attracted a large crowd, causing a strong mobilization of law enforcement.
According to several international media and the French authorities, these celebrations were marked by overflows in certain areas of the capital. Incidents have been reported, including projectiles, vehicle fires, business breakdowns and tensions with the police. Enhanced security arrangements have been deployed to try to contain the situation.
Several hundred arrests and minor injuries were reported, mainly among law enforcement and some participants. While the majority of supporters celebrated in a relatively peaceful climate, the authorities point out that a minority was responsible for the violence, relaunching the debate on the safe management of the major sports celebrations in Paris.
