2 dead, police officer in coma after mass PSG UCL title celebrations
The post 2 dead, police officer in coma after mass PSG UCL title celebrations appeared first on ClutchPoints.
PSG earned a historic victory over Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League Final on Saturday afternoon, as they demolished the Italian superpower squad with a 5-0 win. The first ever title for Paris Saint-Germain in Europe's most prestigious tournament didn't come without some tragedy, though, as deadly celebrations marred the team's major accomplishment.
As the Parisians coasted to victory, the party began, but things turned sour quickly. In Munich, where the game was played, a 17-year-old old PSG fan was stabbed to death during a street party, and in Paris, a man in his 20s was hit by a car while on his scooter during the celebrations. Elsewhere, a police officer in Coutances was placed in an artificial coma after getting accidentally hit by fireworks and sustaining serious eye injuries.
'Two fans died and a police officer is in a coma after mass nationwide celebrations for Paris Saint-Germain's historic Champions League victory, European football's biggest prize, French authorities said Sunday,' ESPN reported on Sunday morning.
Given the passion PSG's fans have for their team, it shouldn't come as a surprise that they were fired up after this big win. Unfortunately, several of the celebrations got taken too far, with Paris' police chief reporting that a total of 192 people were injured in the areas surrounding France's capital in the wake of this game.
PSG has closed off another successful season with a major win, as they dominated Inter Milan from start to finish. Achraf Hakimi opened the scoring in the 12th minute, before Desire Doue scored a pair of goals to extend the lead to 3-0. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Mayulu both scored in the final 20 minutes of action, capping off the biggest margin of victory in the history of the UEFA Champions League Final.

⏳Inter-Inzaghi talks: renewal or exit, Saudi and Juve interest👀
The heavy 5-0 defeat suffered by Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League final has left a deep mark on Inter, but in these hours the club is called to resolve another fundamental issue: the future of Simone Inzaghi. The coach is considering a particularly enticing offer from Al-Hilal, which continues to push to bring him to Saudi Arabia, in addition to the sensational move made by Juventus in recent weeks. Advertisement A decisive meeting is set for today between the coach, President Marotta, Sporting Director Ausilio, and representatives of Oaktree: a summit that will clarify whether the paths between Inzaghi and Inter will separate or continue together. The management has already started to consider alternatives such as De Zerbi and Fabregas, while the American ownership of Oaktree is pushing for the confirmation of the coach who has guaranteed significant revenues. In fifteen days, Inter will be involved in the Club World Cup, making a decision on the future of the Nerazzurri bench unavoidable. 🤑 The future of Inzaghi and the offer from Al-Hilal Coach Simone Inzaghi is at the center of Inter's evaluations, just days after the bitter defeat in the Champions League final. Advertisement In recent days, a very rich offer has arrived from Al-Hilal, which the coach has not closed, suggesting some doubt on his part as well. In Arabia, there is talk of a ready contract with figures ranging between 30 and 50 million euros per year for a couple of seasons. Just in these hours, the appointed intermediary is in Milan to discuss the final details and get a definitive answer. The coach's decision must arrive within the next 24 hours. 💥 Today the decisive summit Today a crucial meeting is set between Inzaghi and the Inter management. In a climate of bitterness and reflection after the European defeat, the parties will try to understand if there are still conditions to continue together. Advertisement Inter does not want to start the new season with a coach expiring on June 30, 2026, and for this reason, the club has already started to evaluate alternatives. However, the American ownership of Oaktree, which has benefited from the revenues generated during the Inzaghi cycle, is pushing for the coach's confirmation. ⚖️ The alternatives: De Zerbi and Fabregas In case of a farewell with Inzaghi, the club is thinking of a young profile. De Zerbi is the favorite of Piero Ausilio, but he has already promised Marseille to stay another year in France. Fabregas, currently at Como, could instead become the first choice, but the Lombard club is not willing to stand by and the Spanish coach still needs to be convinced to accept the potential offer. 💣 The sensational attempt by Juventus Juventus, in recent weeks, has conducted a survey with Inzaghi's agent, Tullio Tinti. Advertisement According to Tuttosport, then director Cristiano Giuntoli had made contacts to evaluate the possibility of a future agreement, but the attempt stalled after the renewal of the Juventus technical area and the automatic confirmation of Igor Tudor until 2026, following qualification in the Champions League. However, the confirmation of Juventus' interest in Inzaghi remains, a sign that the Nerazzurri coach is also appreciated outside of Inter. 🏆 Club World Cup incoming Inter cannot afford further hesitation: in fifteen days the team will be in America to play the Club World Cup. The debut is set for Tuesday, June 17 at 18 local time, when it will be 3 in the morning on June 18 in Italy, at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles against the Mexicans of Monterrey.

Time machine: How carbon dating brings the past back to life
From unmasking art forgery to uncovering the secrets of the Notre-Dame cathedral, an imposing machine outside Paris can turn back the clock to reveal the truth. It uses a technique called carbon dating, which has "revolutionised archaeology", winning its discoverer a Nobel Prize in 1960, French scientist Lucile Beck said. She spoke to AFP in front of the huge particle accelerator, which takes up an entire room in the carbon dating lab of France's Atomic Energy Commission in Saclay, outside the capital. Beck described the "surprise and disbelief" among prehistorians in the 1990s when the machine revealed that cave art in the Chauvet Cave in France's southeast was 36,000 years old. The laboratory uses carbon dating, also called carbon-14, to figure out the timeline of more than 3,000 samples a year. - So how does it work? - First, each sample is examined for any trace of contamination. "Typically, they are fibres from a jumper" of the archaeologist who first handled the object, Beck said. The sample is then cleaned in an acid bath and heated to 800 degrees Celsius (1,472 Fahrenheit) to recover its carbon dioxide. This gas is then reduced to graphite and inserted into tiny capsules. Next, these capsules are put into the particle accelerator, which separates their carbon isotopes. Isotopes are variants of the same chemical element which have different numbers of neutrons. Some isotopes are stable, such as carbon-12. Others -- such as carbon-14 -- are radioactive and decay over time. Carbon-14 is constantly being created in Earth's upper atmosphere as cosmic rays and solar radiation bombard the chemical nitrogen. In the atmosphere, this creates carbon dioxide, which is absorbed by plants during photosynthesis. Then animals such as ourselves get in on the act by eating those plants. So all living organisms contain carbon-14, and when they die, it starts decaying. Only half of it remains after 5,730 years. After 50,000 years, nothing is left -- making this the limit on how far back carbon dating can probe. By comparing the number of carbon-12 and carbon-14 particles separated by the particle accelerator, scientists can get an estimate of how old something is. Cosmic radiation is not constant, nor is the intensity of the magnetic field around Earth protecting us from it, Beck said. That means scientists have to make estimations based on calculations using samples whose ages are definitively known. This all makes it possible to spot a forged painting, for example, by demonstrating that the linen used in the canvas was harvested well after when the purported painter died. The technique can also establish the changes in our planet's climate over the millennia by analysing the skeletons of plankton found at the bottom of the ocean. - Notre-Dame revealed - Carbon dating can be used on bones, wood and more, but the French lab has developed new methods allowing them to date materials that do not directly derive from living organisms. For example, they can date the carbon that was trapped in iron from when its ore was first heated by charcoal. After Paris's famous Notre-Dame cathedral almost burned to the ground in 2019, this method revealed that its big iron staples dated back to when it was first built -- and not to a later restoration, as had been thought. The technique can also analyse the pigment lead white, which has been painted on buildings and used in artworks across the world since the fourth century BC. To make this pigment, "lead was corroded with vinegar and horse poo, which produces carbon dioxide through fermentation," Beck explained. She said she always tells archaeologists: "don't clean traces of corrosion, they also tell about the past!" Another trick made it possible to date the tombs of a medieval abbey in which only small lead bottles had been found. As the bodies in the tombs decomposed, they released carbon dioxide, corroding the bottles and giving scientists the clue they needed. "This corrosion was ultimately the only remaining evidence of the spirit of the monks," Beck mused. ber/dl/jhb

Pierre Sage appointed Lens manager
RC Lens have appointed Pierre Sage as their new manager. The former Olympique Lyonnais head coach succeeds Will Still in the role. Lens have been without a manager since the final day of the Ligue 1 season, when Still shocked journalists by announcing his departure after just one season at the helm. He has since taken the job at Southampton. Just over two weeks after his departure, Lens have named his successor – Sage. Advertisement It is the Frenchman's first job since his sacking as manager of Lyon at the start of the year. With the chances of UEFA Champions League qualification slipping away, Paulo Fonseca was brought in at OL. Despite a brief uptick, the Portuguese manager failed to get Lyon into the top four. The likes of USL Dunkerque's Luís Castro and EA Guingamp's Sylvain Ripoll had been linked with the job, however, Sage has now signed on the dotted line. His contract runs until 2028.
