Macron On Violence In Paris After PSG's UCL Win: 'Nothing Can Justify...'
Last Updated: French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the violence after PSG's UEFA Champions League win, which led to two deaths and 600 arrests. French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the 'unacceptable" violence that erupted during celebrations following Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League final victory, as he welcomed the victorious team to the Élysée Palace on Sunday. 'Nothing can justify the violent clashes that occurred in the last few hours," Macron stated. 'We will pursue, we will punish, we will be relentless," he added before congratulating the players on their win. Two people died, and police arrested nearly 600 individuals across France overnight as fans celebrated PSG's 5-0 triumph over Inter Milan in Munich on Saturday. 'The violent clashes are unacceptable and have resulted in a heavy toll: two people are dead, around 30 police officers and several firefighters were injured," Macron said. 'My thoughts are also with the police officer in Coutances who is currently in a coma," he added, referring to the town in western France where a police officer was struck in the eye by a firework. Macron hosted PSG coach Luis Enrique and his team after their victory parade on the Champs-Élysées avenue, thanking the players for their swift condemnation of the violence. 'These isolated acts are contrary to the club's values and do not represent the vast majority of our supporters, whose exemplary behaviour throughout the season deserves praise," the club said on Sunday. Macron also congratulated the team for their 'sublime" victory over Inter Milan. 'You are the champions and you have put Paris at the top of Europe," he said. 'There were 11 of you on the field, but there was clearly a twelfth man – the entire French public, regardless of traditional allegiances," Macron said, referring to his own loyalty to PSG's rival club, Olympique de Marseille. It was the first time PSG had won the biggest prize in European club football. Many of the team's stars, comprising one of the youngest sides in the competition, are drawn from the vast football talent pool in the Paris suburbs after PSG's Qatari owners shifted their focus away from signing star players like Neymar and Lionel Messi. A total of 11.5 million people across France tuned in to watch the UEFA Champions Leage final. First Published: June 02, 2025, 07:59 IST

Jubilant PSG party into night with Champions League trophy
Paris Saint-Germain players, staff and fans stretched their Champions League celebrations deep into Sunday evening as they finished a day of festivities in the French capital at a packed and delirious Parc des Princes stadium. Players sung and danced and waved the trophy on their home pitch as music blared and star Parisian rappers performed before a jubilant crowd. The well-wishers included tennis player Novak Djokovic, hours ahead of his fourth-round match at nearby Roland Garros, and disgraced former French President Nicolas Sarkozy. After thrashing Inter Milan by a record 5-0 in Saturday evening's final, the squad flew into Paris from Munich at just before 4:00 pm . They then set off on a triumphal procession on an open-top, double-decker bus. They were greeted along the route by crowds of jubilant supporters. Waving flags and letting off flares, they savoured their club winning the biggest prize in European club football for the first time. The players brandished the trophy and addressed the crowd as they drove. After parading down the Champs Elysees, coach Luis Enrique and his team went to a reception at the Elysee palace hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron who lavished praise on the team. "You are the champions and you have put Paris at the top of Europe," he said. "There were 11 of you on the field, but there was clearly a twelfth man the entire French public, regardless of traditional allegiances," said Macron, in a nod to his own loyalty to PSG's rival, Olympique de Marseille. An estimated 11.8 million viewers watched the game on French television as PSG became just the second French side to become European champions, after Marseille in 1993. The president however condemned the violence which had marred the victory celebrations across France on Saturday night. 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 also died after being hit by a vehicle. A policeman was in an induced coma after being injured by a firework. The violence quickly became a political football in France on Sunday as parties on the right and left took the opportunity to criticise the handling of the celebrations. "Nothing can justify what has happened in the last few hours, the violent clashes are unacceptable," said Macron. "We will pursue, we will punish, we will be relentless." PSG concluded their day's festivities with a party at their Parc des Princes home ground. Each player walked onto the pitch to a different song and each received a standing ovation. Club captain Marquinhos, who joined the club in 2013, was the last to take centre stage, holding one handle of the trophy as club president President Nasser al-Khelaifi held the other. "After all these years, I can cry now, this is the day of glory!" Marquinhos said, before telling the crowd: "We love you. Enjoy it! We are European champions!" Even the club president received praise, with the crowd cheering: "Thank you Nasser." Qatar Sports Investments, which al-Khelaifi chairs, has pumped hundreds of millions of euros into PSG since buying it as an ailing club in 2011. Over the last couple of seasons they have turned their back on their former policy of signing stars such as Neymar and Lionel Messi and focussed on young French talent, such as 19-year-old Desire Doue, scorer of two goals on Saturday. PSG had lost their only other appearance in the final five years ago but after Saturday's triumph, said they had the taste for victory now. "The objective now is to win again," al-Khelaifi said after the game. "It has taken 14 years of hard work but we are building something for the future." gj-bsp/pb/rlp
