PSG vs Arsenal: More than 10 people were arrested as Parc des Princes descended into pandemonium as fans went berserk after the consecutive wins of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the UEFA Champions League (UCL). According to the French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez, the local police have arrested a few fans.
The stadium (Parc des Princes) held a live screening for 45,000 fans. However, the landmark occasion for the French club was overshadowed by the chaos and waves of PSG fans that descended in the city.
PSG vs Arsenal: Celebrations Turn Into Chaos
Large crowds poured onto the Champs-Élysees, where many shops had already boarded up their windows in anticipation of the match. Vehicles were set on fire, fireworks were fired into the streets, and riot police used tear gas as thousands of fans
filled the capital. More than 100 people were arrested, and several injuries were reported as the unrest spread across different parts of Paris.
Several people came in groups wearing balaclavas and were armed with mortar fireworks, disrupting the stadium. This forced the security forces to intervene and disperse the ruckus.
What began as celebrations quickly turned into scenes of destruction, with parts of one of Europe's most famous cities looking more like a riot zone than a victory party.

PSG Sit On European Throne Once Again!
Paris Saint-Germain retained their UEFA Champions League title, defeating Arsenal 4-3 on penalties after a tense 1-1 draw in the final at the Puskas Arena on Saturday. The turning point came when Arsenal defender Gabriel sent his spot-kick over the bar, handing PSG back-to-back European crowns.
Arsenal had started strongly and went ahead in the sixth minute, with Kai Havertz firing a powerful rising shot past PSG goalkeeper Matvey Safonov.
PSG, who found it difficult to break through Arsenal's well-organised defence for much of the game, equalised in the 65th minute. Ousmane Dembele calmly converted from the penalty spot after Cristhian Mosquera fouled Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the box.
With neither side able to find a winner during a scrappy extra-time period, the match was decided by penalties. PSG kept their composure from the spot to defend their title, becoming only the second team in the Champions League era to win consecutive trophies.
