Over 890 Arrests After PSG Champions League Victory

French authorities reported over 890 arrests during PSG's Champions League victory celebrations, with 178 police officers injured in violent incidents across France.

French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez announced that there were "more than 890 arrests" during Saturday and Sunday following PSG's Champions League triumph, representing a 45% increase compared to 2025. The forces of order faced "systematic attacks, projectiles, and mortar fire" during the celebrations, particularly in Paris and other cities.

President Emmanuel Macron condemned the violence as "unjustifiable" following Saturday night's victory in Budapest. In 2025, after PSG's first Champions League win, 592 people had been arrested, including 491 in Paris alone. newsbetting.club
