MUNICH (AP) — Paris Saint-Germain is going for its first Champions League title when it takes on Inter Milan in the final on Saturday.
Inter is going for its fourth European crown and first since winning the 2010 trophy. The Italian club also won back-to-back titles in 1964 and '65 when the competition was still known as the European Cup.

The former European Cup knockout tournament was rebranded the Champions League in 1992 after a group stage had been introduced to accommodate more teams the season before. Marseille won the first title of the Champions League era in 1993 and is still the only European champion from France.
PSG is bidding to become the second. If Inter wins in Munich on Saturday, the Italian team would move level with Ajax with four European Cup titles, behind only Barcelona with five, Bayern Munich and Liverpool with six, AC Milan with seven, and Real Madrid with the record, 15.

2 fans dead, hundreds arrested after celebrations in France from PSG's Champions League win
A pair of fans died, a police officer is in a coma and hundreds of people were arrested following massive celebrations throughout France after Paris-Saint-Germain's Champions League victory, officials said Sunday. A 17-year-old boy was stabbed in the city of Dax — which sits south of Bordeaux in southwestern France — during a PSG street party on Saturday night. A second man in his 20s was killed in Paris when his scooter was hit by a car during similar celebrations, according to The Associated Press. Both instances are being investigated, though officials believe the deaths were linked to the celebrations. The driver in the second death was detained. Advertisement A police officer in Coutance — which is in northwest France — was accidentally hit by a firework. He was placed into a coma due to 'grave eye injuries,' per the report. Nearly 200 people were injured around the capital, four seriously, and nearly 300 people had been arrested by 2 a.m. Sunday. "These isolated acts are contrary to the clubs values, and don't at all represent the immense majority of our fans," the team said in a statement. The celebrations and chaos came shortly after PSG clinched its first Champions League title Saturday. The club rolled over Inter Milan to a 5-0 win at Allianz Arena in Germany. An official celebration took place Sunday afternoon, when more than 100,000 people were expected to attend the parade in Paris and a subsequent celebration at Parc des Princes stadium. The team rode an open-air bus with the trophy throughout the parade route, and then they arrived at their stadium for a concert and celebration seemingly without much issue. The violence is the second of its kind in recent weeks in Europe following a soccer championship. At least 50 fans were injured after a man drove his car into a crowd at a parade celebrating Liverpool's Premier League title.
