Celebrations in Paris have spiralled into chaos on Sunday night as Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League victory parade was marred by violent clashes between fans and riot police.

Tens of thousands of supporters flooded the streets of the French capital to mark PSG’s historic 5-0 triumph over Inter Milan in Munich – a result that saw the club lift the Champions League trophy for the first time in its history.

But the jubilant atmosphere soon gave way to unrest, as tensions flared between sections of the crowd and police. Projectiles were thrown, and riot officers responded with tear gas and water cannons in an attempt to regain control.

It is believed that the clashes intensified after the crowd exceeded the official limit of 110,000 people, with the resulting overcrowding leading to heightened tensions and confrontations between fans and police. 

The recent violence follows a tragic stabbing of a teenager and the arrest of 426 people amid intense nationwide unrest overnight.
