79 arrests after renewed riots at PSG fan celebrations in Paris

79 arrests after renewed riots at PSG fan celebrations in Paris

Yahoo2 days ago

French police have said there was more rioting, with 79 arrests, during Sunday's parade on the Champs-Élysées to welcome Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain, and subsequent celebrations in the club's stadium.
"We deplore the new incidents after the parade, which brought together more than 100,000 people on the Champs-Élysées, and the subsequent presentation of the trophy at the Parc des Princes," Paris police chief Laurent Nunez told RTL radio on Monday.
He said that those arrested were not really PSG fans. Rioters threw barriers onto the city motorway near the stadium and blocked traffic for 15 minutes, despite the rapid intervention of the police.
In addition, groups of people threw fireworks on the Champs-Élysées and tried to damage shops, the police chief said.
There had previously been riots during victory celebrations in several locations in France on Saturday night. A total of 563 arrests were made across the country, 491 of them in Paris. According to Nunez, most of those arrested remain in custody, including those involved in attempting to loot shops.
PSG secured the European title for the first time in the club's history on Saturday evening with a 5-0 win over the Italian side Inter Milan in Munich.

23 Wildly Unsettling Confessions People Randomly Spilled That Shocked Those Around Them

We recently shared this post about wild, "WTF" confessions people casually let rip. BuzzFeed Community members then shared their own stories of times people dropped random confession bombs on them. We also looked at this Reddit thread by TrustyMadman detailing even more unsettling confessions people wish they'd never learned. 1."I was talking to a state Senator and he was casually telling me, in front of a few other guys, about how he would cheat on his wife behind the school we were close to." —swampfish 2."My brother-in-law arranged to have his car stolen because he could no longer afford the payments. The person he hired to steal it was supposed to set it on fire. The police found it fully intact. The arsonist forgot to open a window, so the lack of oxygen put the fire out. The police called, told him he could pick up his car, and gave him the address. My brother-in-law called the car thief/arsonist and complained about the service. When my brother-in-law arrived at the location that the police gave him, the car was fully engulfed in flames. The insurance company turned down the claim because they found it suspicious. He had to keep paying for a car that had to be scrapped. Talk about karma. I could write a book about the schemes my brother-in-law tried to pull, not one of which ever worked in his favor." —Anonymous 3."During a fight, my boyfriend confessed that he dated three ladies simultaneously as a younger man. Sometimes he slept with all three of them on the same day. He says it was not that great because it's not pleasurable if he is not emotionally attached. I was shocked." —Anonymous 4."A guy I dated one summer admitted that he used to commit armed robberies with his best friend and even shot people in the process. The best friend got caught and was locked up for life. He didn't get caught and lived a very low-key life. Not sure if he was telling the truth, but it was a disturbing story." —Anonymous 5."I was doing a European tour in my early 20s with a bunch of Kiwis, Aussies, South Africans, and a few others. We were sitting in a hotel room in Rome playing Never Have I Ever. People were throwing out pretty innocuous things until one guy said, 'Never have I ever stabbed a guy,' and had a drink." —SpoonNZ 6."A coworker didn't show up on Monday. On Tuesday, I said, 'I hope you feel better today.' She casually told me that she wasn't sick. She went to jail for stabbing her boyfriend in the leg with a fork. He didn't press charges, but the time before that, it was a knife in the arm. I guess the second incident got her in trouble with the county." —Anonymous 7."I was riding in a car after a funeral with my mother-in-law and her sister when they started talking about the relative who was just buried (I'll call him M). Long story short, M had numerous scandals throughout his younger years, including an affair with his sister-in-law that resulted in pregnancy. M's wife never knew or at least pretended not to know that her nephew was also her husband's son. That son is now in his 50s, and no one in his generation of relatives knows that his cousins are actually his half-brothers. M's children and grandchildren have all grown up believing M was a very religious, pious man. My husband is a cousin of M's son. They grew up practically brothers, and he doesn't even know." —BeachBound1 8."A coworker once told me that in high school, she and a friend had witnessed a man drop his wallet, and they went to pick it up. The wallet had $5k inside. She said she and her friend figured he must be a drug dealer because only drug dealers would carry that amount of cash, so they kept the money and split it between themselves. She said she spent it slowly on new clothes and things over the next few months so her mother wouldn't get suspicious. I lost all respect for her after she told me the story. I could think of hundreds of reasons why someone might be carrying that much cash, and none of them had to do with drugs. My heart still hurts for the man who lost his wallet that two selfish children found." —Anonymous 9."I was on my way to visit a friend in Missouri when my car broke down just west of Tulsa. This was back when mobile phones were just a nerdy pipe dream, so I walked to a nearby convenience store to find a payphone to call another friend to ask for assistance. While I was waiting for my friend to arrive, I started chatting with the store's clerk. I told him about my car trouble, and he just happened to have the part I needed in his car and stepped away for a few minutes to get it. Once he returned, I thanked him, gave him a few bucks for the part, and made sure it was okay with him for me to hang out there a while longer while I waited for my friend to arrive. The clerk and I continued to chat, and this is when I learned that he already had a few years under his belt towards his degree in veterinary medicine. Then he proceeded to tell me about the surgery skills he recently had the chance to practice by removing a tumor from his buddy's stomach." "He, of course, didn't have access to the proper anesthesia, so his buddy just used a bottle of whiskey to dampen the pain instead. As I sat across the table from this guy, wondering how I would respond or even if I should respond, I was saved by my friend who had just walked in the door. I used my friend's appropriately-timed arrival as an excuse to thank the clerk again for the part and be on my way." —Anonymous 10."I was just casually eating lunch at a restaurant with a friend I'd known for years when she suddenly got really spacy and just stared out the window, ignoring everything I was saying until I finally stopped talking and asked what was up. She pointed at a man outside across the street and said, 'I'm still 95% sure that's my oldest daughter's father.' I'd known her for years and knew her husband and kids. I'd never seen that guy in my life." —Anonymous 11."We were at a family get-together. It was a swim party. We're all having a good time enjoying the sun and swimming. Someone had a scab on their leg, and their sister in-law said, 'Oh, I love it when they get soggy!' Then, she asked her brother if he ate his it was a totally normal thing. He replied, shocked, 'No!! Who the heck eats scabs?!? That's the nastiest thing I've ever heard.' She said, 'I do all the time!' She's in her late 30s. She continued with, 'I just pick them off and suck on them until they get soft, and then swallow. I love it when they get soggy!' I am still disturbed and sick to my stomach just thinking about it. I will never look at that person the same again. When I look at her, all I can think is soggy scab mouth." —Anonymous 12."I (50F) let the condo maintenance man in to replace my thermostat. I've met him before, and he was always nice and quick with repairs. It was the start of summer, and he asked if my kids and I had any vacation plans. I reciprocated the question, and we were just making small talk. Out of nowhere, he casually says he murdered his brother. WTF?? I completely froze, then mumbled, 'Oh,' as he put the faceplate on. He didn't follow up on that statement, and I didn't ask for details. He quickly said bye and walked out. I moved shortly after." —plutoplop 13."My boyfriend's coworker told him that he used to rob sex workers back in his younger days." —Anonymous 14."My buddy casually dropped that his kid wasn't his. It's his wife's dealer's. But I guess they are good now, so whatever." —aknockingmormon 15."One of my coworkers was pregnant, and a group of coworkers were together sharing cravings they had when they were pregnant. Typical stuff, like ice cream and pickles. One of the older ladies, who had grown up in the Mississippi Delta, said, 'I ate dirt.' We all just stared at her. She then went on to talk about how she fried it in a frying pan. Some of us were discussing how bizarre it was later, and apparently, it was a thing in poor areas of Mississippi before the 1950s. It was a way to get nutrients and minerals when food was scarce. I will never forget her saying that, and learning that was actually a thing in America at one time." —Anonymous 16."A few months ago, I had a patient (who I treated every day for a few weeks) 'jokingly' tell me that he and his buddies had killed a man and thrown his body off a bridge into the water below. He was known for telling wild stories, but that one didn't sit well with me. I don't believe he was joking by the way he told it. At all." —Anonymous 17."'Oh, that looks just like the truck I stole and sold to pay for my college tuition.'" —Anonymous 18."In a group meeting that discussed consistency and longevity of maintaining a vegan diet, one asshole declared he has never cheated on his diet and has been vegan for decades. It sounded impressive until he confessed to cheating on his wife instead. Awkward." —lovelypenguin148 19."A female coworker told me about recently visiting her boyfriend's house. She wanted to have sex, but he told her he couldn't because he had a gonorrhea infection. She wanted to have sex anyway and was upset because he wouldn't." —Anonymous 20."My neighbor was helping me move. He picked up my washing machine and easily carried it up the stairs to the front lawn as if it only weighed 10 lbs. I told him I was impressed at how strong he was. He said he was used to carrying really heavy things because he used to be an enforcer for the mob. Jaw drop." —Anonymous 21."A 'friend' of mine told me he'd bitten someone's ear off in a fight.

Kevin De Bruyne close to Napoli move as Man City contract expires

Kevin De Bruyne is reportedly close to finalising a move to Napoli following his Manchester City departure at the end of the season. The Belgian midfielder will become a free agent when his contract expires on 30 June and has been weighing up offers from several clubs. Advertisement Among them, Major League Soccer side Chicago Fire were thought to be serious contenders. However, Napoli have emerged as frontrunners and are now expected to secure his signature. Reports in Italy indicate the 33-year-old is nearing agreement on a three-year deal with the Serie A champions. The contract would reportedly pay €6 million per year for the first two seasons, dropping to €5 million in the third. De Bruyne is also set to receive a €10 million signing-on bonus due to his free-agent status. The salary package represents a major reduction from his Manchester City wages, where he earned around £400,000 per week. Yet the move appears to be driven by footballing and personal reasons rather than finances. Advertisement Sources close to the player say De Bruyne is eager to prove he can still perform at the highest level in European football. Lifestyle considerations have also influenced his decision, with his wedding having taken place in Sorrento, near Naples. Although De Bruyne admitted earlier this month that leaving City was not entirely his choice, he now seems focused on the next chapter. He received an emotional farewell from supporters after his final home appearance in City's 3-1 win over Bournemouth. De Bruyne is set to play his final match for the club on Sunday, when City visit Fulham in their last game of the season. A point would guarantee Champions League football for next season, a goal the veteran playmaker has stressed as vital. An official announcement of the Napoli deal is expected in the days following the Premier League finale. Various sources report that only final details remain before the move is made public. Advertisement Napoli, who secured the Serie A title last night for the second time in three years, are preparing for another Champions League campaign. With Antonio Conte expected to take charge, De Bruyne's arrival would signal an ambitious new era at the club. After nearly a decade of success in Manchester, the Belgian maestro appears ready for a fresh challenge on the Italian coast.
