PSG fans took to the streets to celebrate their 3-1 aggregate win over Arsenal, creating chaotic scenes, according to Mirror . Images and videos circulating on social media showed fans clashing with police, while flares were set off in the streets. |
A total of 44 people were arrested, local media reported. Alarmingly, three people were injured, one seriously, after a car plowed into a group of fans near the famous Champs-Elysees. All victims were rushed to hospital. The car was later found burned out on nearby Avenue Marceau. |
“The most serious incident was when a car appeared to have ploughed into a group of PSG fans. At least three people were injured, one seriously, and others were thrown from the vehicle. A group of thugs chased the car, set it on fire and left it burning after forcing it to stop in a side street,” police said. |
Local authorities quickly prepared a plan to deal with fans after the match by deploying 2,000 additional police and mobile forces to patrol the streets. However, chaos still occurred, causing instability in the city. |
Arsenal fans said they saw PSG fans fighting with riot police, with tear gas being used. The clashes broke out shortly before kick-off. |
Arsenal FC are concerned about the potential for violence. They have issued a statement advising fans to avoid the suburb of Auteuil and to take care when travelling to the Parc des Princes. The club has also warned of the risk of theft on the streets of Paris and advised fans to be vigilant, protect their personal belongings and ensure they have valid travel insurance. |
Paris has a reputation for security issues, with Aston Villa fans also facing similar problems when they travelled to the Parc des Princes to support their team in the Champions League quarter-finals this season. |
In addition, Liverpool fans were also tear gassed by French police when trying to enter the Stade de France for the 2022 Champions League final. Some fans were robbed and attacked by groups of French youths. |
At the Parc des Princes, PSG fans began waving flags and lighting flares, creating a sea of red smoke as the home team secured their place in the Champions League final after years of waiting. |
