Two dead in Paris following PSG's Champions League triumph
Two people died and over 500 were arrested in France after disorder broke out during Champions League final celebrations following Paris St Germain's win against Inter Milan.
The French interior ministry reported 192 injuries and 692 fires, including 264 involving vehicles, with 559 arrests made as of Sunday morning, 491 of which were in Paris.
Celebrations erupted across Paris after PSG's 5-0 victory, with fans gathering at the Parc des Princes stadium, the Eiffel Tower, and the Place de la Bastille, but skirmishes with police occurred.
PSG forward Ousmane Dembélé urged fans to celebrate responsibly, saying, "Let's celebrate but without breaking everything in Paris."
Security was tightened with 5,400 police officers deployed in anticipation of post-match violence, and previous PSG victories have also been marred by clashes and arrests.

Rio Ferdinand reacts to Liam Delap snubbing Man Utd move for Chelsea transfer
Rio Ferdinand has described Liam Delap as a 'wonderful young player' but believes his decision to join Chelsea could be a blessing in disguise for Manchester United. United expressed interest in signing Delap from relegated Premier League side Ipswich Town, with Ruben Amorim keen to bolster his attacking options this summer. Delap, who scored 12 goals in the Premier League last season, was interested in joining the Red Devils despite their alarming fall from grace but ultimately decided to join Chelsea instead. Chelsea qualifying for the Champions League on the final day of the season was reportedly a key factor in Delap's decision, with United finishing just 15th in the Premier League and failing to qualify for any European competition. Ferdinand says Delap has 'huge potential' but admits he is not too bothered that the striker, the son of ex-Stoke City defender Rory, will not be arriving at Old Trafford. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. The Manchester United legend does want a new striker to arrive at the club this summer but wants that player to have more experience than Delap, who has made just 39 Premier League appearances. 'I think Liam Delap is a wonderful young player with huge potential,' Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel. 'But I felt him coming to United now would be the wrong fit for both him and the club. United need experience, not another young centre forward. 'I've always said, young centre forwards coming to big clubs like United need to learn from experienced players. We've seen it with someone like [Wayne] Rooney learning from more experienced players. 'That always needs to happen and United are in a position where we have Chido [Obi-Martin], a young forward, one of the best young strikers about at the moment. 'We've got [Rasmus] Hojlund who's been there for two years and what a vulnerable place that's been. He's had no one to lean on in that position or to look at for an example. 'He hasn't had that man and that's a big worry for me. If you invest £75m in a player you need to put the things around him to let him grow and he hasn't had that. 'This is no slight on Liam Delap, who looks like he's going Chelsea. But Manchester United need to go and get an experienced striker to help the current forwards they've got at the club.' More Trending After missing out on Delap, Manchester United could intensify their interest in Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres or Napoli's Victor Osimhen. Gyokeres appears closer to joining Arsenal at this stage, however, while Osimhen is considering a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia. United have held talks to sell or loan out Hojlund but will only sanction his departure if and when they bring in a new goalscorer. The Manchester giants are open to offloading several other players, including Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Antony. For more stories like this, check our sport page.
