Fans set to welcome PSG Champions League heroes with victory parade
Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique lifts the Champions League trophy after his side outclassed Inter Milan in the final (FRANCK FIFE) Paris Saint-Germain's players and staff will hold a victory parade on the Champs-Elysees on Sunday to celebrate with their fans after emphatically ending their long wait to win the Champions League. Coach Luis Enrique and his team including Desire Doue, the 19-year-old who lit up the final in Munich on Saturday by scoring twice in the stunning 5-0 win against Inter Milan, will also be hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron. Advertisement More than 100,000 people are expected to watch their heroes in the parade on Paris' showpiece avenue after the team won the biggest prize in European club football for the first time in their history. In a long night of wild celebrations, fans thronged the streets of the capital, letting off flares and fireworks as decades of pent-up frustration were released. Police made nearly 600 arrests across France, the interior ministry said, after more than 200 cars were torched and police clashed with youths. In the southwest town of Dax, a 17-year-old boy died after being stabbed in the chest. A 23-year-old man riding a scooter in central Paris was also killed after being hit by a vehicle. Advertisement A policeman was put in an induced coma after being injured by a firework. The parade on the Champs-Elysees will be closed to traffic and surrounded by tight security. A victory parade by Liverpool Football Club's players in the English city last Monday ended in horrific scenes after a car ploughed into the crowd, leaving 79 people injured. - Drawn from Paris suburbs - In a message on X, formerly Twitter, Macron hailed a "day of glory for PSG". "Bravo, we are all proud," he wrote. "Paris is the capital of Europe tonight." The margin of victory was the greatest in a final in the history of the Champions League or the European Cup that preceded it. Advertisement Many of the stars of the team, one of the youngest in the competition, are drawn from the huge football talent pool in the Paris suburbs after PSG's Qatari owners turned their back on their former policy of signing star players like Neymar and Lionel Messi. While Doue cemented his status as a rising star in world football, Senny Mayulu, another 19-year-old, came on as a substitute towards the end of the match and scored the fifth goal. Mayulu said afterwards that the achievement would take time to sink in. "I still can't believe it, I think it will only seem real tomorrow. In the dressing room, everyone broke down in their own way, you could see it in their eyes, people were filled with joy and pride." Advertisement Lifting the trophy on Saturday after losing in their only other appearance in the final five years ago was the result of hundreds of millions of euros pumped into PSG since Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) bought an ailing club in 2011. "The objective now is to win again. It has taken 14 years of hard work but we are building something for the future," PSG president Nasser al-Khelaifi said. gj/lp

Ballon d'Or winner's Florian Wirtz prediction is about to come TRUE
Ballon d'Or winner's Florian Wirtz prediction is about to come TRUE German legend knew Wirtz was destined for greatness At just 22 Wirtz has the potential to go on to be the very best in the game, but his potential has been clear for a while. Legendary German midfielder and Ballon d'Or winner Lothar Matthaus spoke on the Leverkusen star's ability back in 2021, when Wirtz was only 17-years-old. Advertisement 'He's 17-years-old and he's a talented midfield player. You have to watch him. He will be the second Kai Havertz,' Matthaus told the Bundesliga website. 'He will go the same way as Havertz. In a few years, we will see him play for the German national team and we'll see him play for a big, big team in Europe." Just how right Matthaus was. Wirtz appears to be on the cusp of a move to Liverpool, the most successful club in England and undoubtedly one of the biggest teams in Europe. The attacking midfielder has also played 29 times for the German national team. How good can Wirtz be? It is worth baring in mind that this comparison to Havertz came just months before the German scored in the Champions League final to secure Chelsea's second European Cup. Advertisement Although Havertz has plateaued since then, and Wirtz may have already eclipsed his compatriot, Liverpool supporters will no doubt be excited at the prospect of signing a player who has been so highly rated since such a young age. Matthaus' predictions were spot on, and since then Wirtz has won back to back Bundesliga Player of the Season awards, delivered Bayer Leverkusen their first German league title and been involved in 69 goals over the past two seasons. It will be a truly terrifying prospect for rival supporters if Wirtz does complete the move to Anfield. Lothar Matthaus has already been proven right over Wirtz, but a move to Liverpool would truly complete the World Cup winner's prediction.

Huge Injury Update Ahead Of Inter Milan Vs Barcelona Showdown: Ex Bayern Munich Superstar Called Up, Spain International Out
Huge Injury Update Ahead Of Inter Milan Vs Barcelona Showdown: Ex Bayern Munich Superstar Called Up, Spain International Out Robert Lewandowski has been called up for the Barcelona squad to face Inter Milan, while Alejandro Balde and Jules Kounde are out. The Blaugranas have released their official squad list for the Champions League semifinal second leg. Lewandowski's name is certainly the most notable inclusion, whilst Balde's absence is a blow. Advertisement Barcelona travel to Inter to take on Inter Milan in an all-important Champions League semifinal second leg tomorrow. The first leg last Wednesday was a thrilling 3-3 draw. That has set up a marquee second leg in which both sides will feel they have every chance of reaching the final. Therefore, the fitness of key players will be all-important. In the case of Inter, the news looks to be positive. Reports today indicate that both Lautaro Martinez and Benjamin Pavard will be able to start. For Barcelona, meanwhile, the news looks to be a little more mixed. Lewandowski Called Up For Barcelona Vs Inter – Balde & Kounde Out BARCELONA, SPAIN – APRIL 05: Alejandro Balde of FC Barcelona reacts during the LaLiga match between FC Barcelona and Real Betis Balompie at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on April 05, 2025 in Barcelona, Spain. (Photo by) The big piece of positive news for Barcelona is that 36-year-old former Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski is in the squad. Advertisement The Pole will be in a matchday squad for the first time since he picked up a muscle injury during Barcelona's La Liga clash with Celta Vigo last month. Lewandowski had missed the first leg against Inter. It remains to be seen what Lewandowski's exact condition will be. Reports suggest that the Polish international will not be ready to start tomorrow's match. Nevertheless, having the 36-year-old available at all certainly represents a major boost. On the other hand, Barcelona will be without left-back Alejandro Balde. Balde had already missed the first leg on Wednesday. And he had done all he could to get back to fitness for tomorrow's leg. However, the 21-year-old Spanish international has not recovered in time. Therefore, he has not even travelled with the Blaugranas squad.
