Wild celebrations in Paris after PSG's Champions League win
The majority of fans celebrated peacefully, but Paris police said scuffles broke out near the city's Champs-Elysees avenue and PSG's Parc des Princes stadium, where 48,000 had watched the 5-0 win against Inter Milan in Munich on big screens.
Most of the nearly 300 people detained were suspected of possessing fireworks and causing disorder, Paris police said.
AFP journalists saw police use a water cannon to stop a crowd reaching the Arc de Triomphe.
"Troublemakers on the Champs-Elysees were looking to create incidents and repeatedly came into contact with police by throwing large fireworks and other objects," police said in a statement.
Outside Paris, police said a car careered into fans celebrating PSG's win in Grenoble in southeastern France, leaving four people injured, two of them seriously.
All of those hurt were from the same family, police said.
The driver handed himself in to the police and was placed under arrest.
A source close to the investigation said it was believed the driver had not acted intentionally.

In Paris, most fans showed their joy by singing and dancing in the streets, with cars sounding their horns, after their team won the biggest prize in European club football for the first time in their history.
One 20-year-old PSG supporter, Clement, said: "It's so good and so deserved! We have a song that talks about our struggles and it hasn't always been easy.
"But we got our faith back this year with a team without stars. They're 11 guys who play for each other."
French President Emmanuel Macron's office said he would host the victorious players on Sunday to congratulate them.
In a separate message on X, Macron hailed a "day of glory for PSG".
"Bravo, we are all proud," he wrote. "Paris is the capital of Europe tonight."
Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo hailed it as a "historic" win.
The PSG team will hold a victory parade on the Champs-Elysees on Sunday when tens of thousands of supporters are expected to gather to get a glimpse of their returning heroes.

Orlando Pirates star reportedly receives R44.3m bid from Saudi
Orlando Pirates' Relebohile Mofokeng continues to attract serious attention from abroad, with Israeli champions Maccabi Tel Aviv intensifying their pursuit of the highly-rated youngster. A source close to the negotiations revealed that Tel Aviv remain determined to land the 20-year-old South African, despite previous denials surrounding their reported interest. 'The Yellows' reportedly view Mofokeng as a marquee signing who could ease into European football at Bloomfield Stadium. Maccabi Tel Aviv Sporting Director Dominic Price believes Mofokeng can play a pivotal role in their ongoing football project. Price, who spent years developing talent at Liverpool, including the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones, has set his sights on the Sharpeville-born attacker. The Israeli club's interest isn't new, but its persistence shows no signs of waning. According to the insider, 'Dominic Price wants Mofokeng as part of his long-term plan to strengthen the team and provide a platform into Europe.' Pirates remain reluctant but bigger offers are rolling in Despite the admiration from Tel Aviv, Orlando Pirates haven't been swayed. The Soweto giants reportedly rejected an earlier offer, viewing it as below their valuation. However, a new bid exceeding R44.3 million has now landed, this time from a Middle Eastern club believed to be Al Ettifaq. That offer surpasses what Maccabi Tel Aviv reportedly tabled, as confirmed by Israeli media outlets. Speculation around Mofokeng's future continues to swirl. The Buccaneers have yet to respond publicly to the latest developments, even as pressure mounts both financially and strategically. Last week, multiple reports suggested that Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven planned to outbid all current suitors. However, Pirates were quick to issue a public statement denying any received offer. Sources close to PSV also indicated they had not submitted a formal bid. But confirmed there was intent to explore a potential move. Though no concrete European offers have been tabled. The continued interest from top-flight clubs suggests that it may only be a matter of time before a formal bid arrives. Where should the Orlando Pirates star go?

Four matches, four wins: 10 things we've learned about the Boks this season
It's been a mixed bag from the reigning world champions so far in 2025, with bigger challenges to come in the Rugby Championship. Two fringe first-choice players who would have made coach Rassie Erasmus take notice over the last month are Canan Moodie, left, and Edwill van der Merwe, right. Picture: Phill Magakoe / AFP The reigning world champions have got their 2025 season off to a flying start, recording impressive wins against the Barbarians, Italy in two Tests, and Georgia in a one-off Test. They have hardly been troubled and coach Rassie Erasmus has used close to 50 players so far this year, with several up-and-coming men getting their debuts. Bigger challenges lie ahead, in the Rugby Championship, but for now South African rugby fans can sit back and digest what they have seen of the Boks. Here are our 10 takeaways of the Springboks in 2025. Unbelievable all-round depth The coach has said he wants each position to have three players good enough to slot in at any stage, against any opposition. Well, he's pretty much there. Erasmus has built unreal depth over the last few years. The Boks have got several quality players in each position now … and settling on matchday-23s in the coming Tests won't be easy. Willemse or Fassi, Kriel or Moodie, Pollard or Libbok, De Jager or Nortje … and where does Edwill van der Merwe fit in? Sacha's not there yet Rising flyhalf star Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu has got all the makings of being a great Test No 10, but he's still got some growing up to do. For all his attacking threats, he simply makes too many basic errors, while his goal-kicking in Mbombela was also not up to scratch. It almost seems like he tries too hard to be the X-factor player many fans want him to be, rather than being the general, with a calm head, who makes clear and smart decisions. Williams ticks the right boxes He took a while to get back to fitness, but Grant Williams has shown in recent weeks he is the first-choice man to be wearing the No 9 jersey. His service, decision-making and sniping runs are better than any other scrumhalf in the Bok mix. Williams has jumped ahead of Jaden Hendrikse, Cobus Reinach and Faf de Klerk in the scrumhalf queue, though Morne van den Berg has also been good this year, and is second-best behind the brilliant Williams. Grant Williams in action against Georgia in Mbombela. Picture: Dirk Kotze/Gallo Images No 8 issues Jasper Wiese is seemingly the Boks' first-choice eighthman, a position he's held since Duane Vermeulen's retirement, but he's yet to fully convince at Test level and is now also suspended. Where does it leave the Boks? Siya Kolisi can play 8, and Kwagga Smith, too, while Cobus Wiese was tried in the position against Georgia, with mixed results. Is Evan Roos the answer? Or Jean-Luc du Preez? Does Erasmus even know? Etzebeth still the best No 4? South Africa's most capped Springbok has been somewhat off his game in recent times and one's got to wonder if he'll still be the first choice No 4 come the World Cup in 2027? Cobus Wiese has a bright future ahead of him, while the other quality locks in the Bok squad, such as Lood de Jager, RG Snyman, Ruan Nortje, Jean Kleyn (who picked up an untimely injury) and Salmaan Moerat, will be pushing hard during the Rugby Championship. Has the next Bok hooker been found? Bongi Mbonambi (34) has found himself more on the bench this season than before and is getting on in age and might not be around in two years' time, hence the decision to include Marnus van der Merwe for the July Tests. Van der Merwe grabbed his chance against Georgia, after Joseph Dweba and Andre-Hugo Venter were overlooked this month, and could be Malcolm Marx's back-up man very soon. Marnus van der Merwe was on song in all departments in his debut. Picture: Anton Geyser / Gallo Images Breakdown concerns Perhaps it's because Erasmus picked different packs for all four of the Boks' matches this June and July, but the world champions struggled at the breakdowns. Italy, in particular, caused the Boks plenty of issues, which hampered the quality of ball that came out for the scrumhalf. Against better teams in the Rugby Championship, the Boks are going to have to be sharper in this area, so there's work to be done. Attack and defence When the Boks got on to the front foot and the quality of ball was good, they showed they have made big strides in playing a fast, attacking brand of rugby. They weren't afraid to have a go in the last four matches and they scored some good tries — 22 in total in the three Tests. Defensively, they were also very solid, letting in just four in the three Tests, a good sign ahead of the bigger challenges to come. Innovations We've seen plenty from Erasmus' Boks over the last few years, the biggest 'innovation' being the 7-1 bench split between forwards and backs. But over the last few games we saw the 'fake lineout' in midfield, and the short-kick-off. We were also introduced to the 'hybrid player' Andre Esterhuizen who can play centre and flank. What next will Erasmus introduce to the world of rugby in the Rugby Championship? Andre Esterhuizen, Test rugby's first 'hybrid player'. Picture: Anton Geyser/Gallo Images Rugby Champs readiness The Boks have played against weak opposition in the last four weeks — the Barbarians, Italy and Georgia. They pushed the Boks in some areas, but the world champions won all their matches convincingly. Australia, Argentina and New Zealand, meanwhile, will go into the Rugby Championship having played a number of big Tests — Australia and New Zealand especially, against the Lions and France respectively. It's also important to note Erasmus made 10, 15 and 16 personnel changes to his teams in successive weeks this last month.

Why Lucas Ribeiro shouldn't be naturalised for Bafana Bafana
He just needs a move to a big European league and he will definitely be in the Seleção conversation. Lucas Ribeiro #10 of Mamelodi Sundowns FC scores his team's first goal during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group F match against Borussia Dortmund at TQL Stadium on June 21 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Photo: Dylan Buell / GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA / Getty Images via AFP Lucas Ribeiro's wonder goal against Borussia Dortmund at the FIFA Club World Cup which was later named Goal of the Tournament has reinforced what many already believe. The Brazilian attacker is operating on another level and should not be naturalised to play for South Africa. The Sundowns star collected the ball deep inside his own half, went past two Dortmund defenders, and coolly slotted it beyond Gregor Kobel. The world applauded, but South African fans were not surprised because they've seen it before. ALSO READ: Sundowns' Ribeiro wins Club World Cup goal of the tournament That goal mirrored his solo strike against Orlando Pirates in a Betway Premiership clash at Loftus Versfeld. It was the same surging run, the same composure, the same clinical finish. Only this time, the world was watching and the moment of genius will be talked about for years to come. Ribeiro has shown at the highest level that he has the quality to compete with the best. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The 26-year-old is good enough for the Brazilian national team. His overall display at the global showpiece in the United States proved as much. He just needs a move to a big European league and he will definitely be in the Seleção conversation. In the PSL, he simply looks a class above the rest. He glides past defenders as though they aren't there. At times, it genuinely feels like he's playing with children, that's how good he is. In fact, there's nothing for him to prove in the PSL anymore and the only natural progression would be to seek greener pastures. Of course, Bafana would benefit from a player of Ribeiro's calibre, but the country's proud footballing heritage and historical background dictates that home grown players should be prioritised to represent the 1996 Africa Cup of Nations winners. ALSO READ: Sundowns' Cardoso reacts to being honoured in Portugal Brazil may be stacked with attacking talent like Vinícius Jr, Rodrygo, Neymar, Cunha and Raphinha, but Ribeiro is arguably a better all-round player than Manchester United outcast Antony. Ribeiro's story is far from over. A move to Europe could well be next, and with it, a chance to realise his dream of representing Brazil.
