Paris St-Germain clinched their first-ever Champions League title with a 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in the final on Saturday. However, celebrations in the city of Paris took a darker turn as two deaths and widespread disorder occurred on Saturday night. A 17-year-old boy was stabbed in Dax, while a 23-year-old man was killed in Paris after being hit by a vehicle. Paris police prefect Laurent Nunez reported 192 injuries and 491 arrests in Paris alone, with 264 vehicles set on fire. PSG released a statement condemning the violence and confirmed a decision to proceed with an open-top bus parade through the city, attended by 100,000 fans. The parade ended at the Arc de Triomphe, followed by a meeting with President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee Palace. The club will close their celebrations with an event for season-ticket holders at the Parc des Princes stadium later on Sunday night.
