Riots and arrests in Paris after lost final PSG | Abroad

At the PSG stadium, Parc des Princes, where 5,000 people could watch the final on large screens, young people sought a confrontation with the police. The crowd at the stadium pelted the police, who used tear gas, with fireworks. After the game, trash cans and a car were set on fire and bottles were thrown at police vehicles.

On the Champs-Élysées, dozens of disappointed football fans clashed with riot police, local media reported. Police also raided a bar just off the famous street in the center of Paris, because the rules of social distance were not respected and not everyone was wearing a face mask.

On Sunday evening, 3000 police officers were deployed to keep order in the city. In addition to preventing disturbances, the police also had to point out the corona rules to visitors. The Champs-Élysées was closed to traffic.
