A total of 219 people have been injured in clashes between football fans and police across France after Paris St-Germain (PSG) won the Champions League final against Arsenal.
Eight were in a serious condition, Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said. Thousands of officers were deployed to curb unrest that disrupted bus, train and rail services in the capital, Paris. Fifty-seven of them were injured.
Nuñez said 780 people had been arrested over the violence - with more than 450 in custody. A person was found dead after an accident on Paris's ring road, which rioters tried to block overnight.
Some 6,000 police have been mobilised for Sunday's victory celebrations, which began at the Eiffel Tower.

Thank God they won, else it would be really, really bad!..............🙄
Did someone shout ‘gooooooooooaaaaaaaaaal’?
The team they beat, Arsenal, is in London, so if Arsenal won, they would have been rioting there.
I would suggest relatively low velocity slugs from shot guns (rubber bullets” from a Saiga shot gun with the high magazine capacity round magazines. It will not kill you unless a direct hit to the skull. It will make you quickly decide I will not do this.
Yea.
We know.
For the Millionth time.
Burn it down!!!
Hours and Hours of Soccer! ⚽⚽⚽

I think even Greta Thunberg would approve. After all, these hooligans are setting fire to cars and buildings. That will make Climate Change worse!
Why yes, I see they have...
Ah yes I learned about rhetorical questions way back in high school :)
I despise PSG, but their victory over Arsenal saved the world and prevented an obnoxious attack of noise pollution. Arsenal fans are “special”.
Liverpool supporters, including myself, are celebrating the sacking of the disastrous Arne Slot. I didn’t think that Fenway Sports Group had the cajones to sack him.
What a weekend.

Piers Morgan would have been insufferable.
They need Klopp back.
American citizens - demanding their ticket money back - after they realize Soccer is the most stupid and boring professional game ever invented!
I would be happy if that came to fruition.
True.
Also, it’s rumored that Starmer supports Arsenal.
That would be an equally good reason to pull against them.
