There were 5,400 police officers deployed to ensure security before, during and after the Champions League final between PSG and Inter. This figure accounts for nearly 20% of the total police force in the French capital (32,000 people).
The above details show that the authorities are on guard against the scenario of fans causing chaos. If they win, they can take to the streets to celebrate excessively, but if they lose, the hostile atmosphere will be "activated".
The first scenario played out last night. Before the referee blew the final whistle, thousands of fans poured into the streets, causing the Champs-Élysées to become congested. Car horns and singing were heard everywhere, but the celebrations gradually turned violent.

Paris fans had a sleepless night |
Fans first lit flares, then threw them at several shops along the road. Dozens of fires broke out across the capital, with firefighters tackling streets, especially those leading to the Parc des Princes. Videos showed bicycles and mattresses burning near the pitch, with thick black smoke billowing into the night sky. Shop owners sealed off their doors to prevent arson.
Not stopping there, in many places, police had to use tear gas to suppress the violence. In many videos recorded by fans, police in riot gear ran towards the groups of rioters. Some threw bottles and set off fireworks when they were pushed back. After many clashes, the group of fans began to disperse and returned home at dawn.
According to reports, much of Paris was covered in thick smoke from the celebrations. But overall, the situation did not go too far. The Paris police force suppressed all the disturbances, bringing a safe night to the capital.
