Inter's Acerbi threatens PSG fan over Champions League taunting
Inter Milan defender Francesco Acerbi lost his cool after a Club World Cup fan, wearing a Paris St. Germain shirt in Seattle, taunted him about last month's Champions League final, with the Italian threatening to beat him up if the teasing continued. The fan brought up a humiliating moment from Inter's 5-0 defeat by the French champion in Munich, in which Acerbi was left sprawling after some dazzling footwork by Bradley Barcola.

The translator told the fan in English on Thursday: 'You must be serious with him.' Seconds later, Acerbi stepped in to say in Italian: 'I'm serious. Don't make fun of me — I don't like it. ... I'm crazy, I'll beat the crap out of you.' Acerbi then quickly moved on, posing for photos with other fans. Inter was not immediately available for comment. The side takes on the Urawa Red Diamonds in Group E on Saturday.

Vandalism after PSG win 'a kind of failure,' police chief says
STORY: :: Workers clean up after looting and vandalism following Paris St. Germain's Champions League win :: Paris, France :: Images BFMTV :: June 2, 2025 :: Laurent Nunez, Paris Police Prefect "There were courageous police officers from the police headquarters with two mobile gendarmerie squadrons that we had in reserve, who intervened, who made numerous arrests, who prevented looting and vandalism. So, words have meaning. We can't talk about security failure. I'm not happy, obviously. I consider it wrong and it's a kind of failure that there was looting of businesses, especially on the night of Saturday to Sunday. My goal - and at the police headquarters, the person responsible is the police chief, I'm the boss, I'm the one who decides, I'm the one who is responsible - we said there shouldn't be any looting of businesses, and there was some anyway, so obviously there is a kind of failure." On the Champs Elysees, bus shelters were smashed up and projectiles hurled at riot police on Saturday (May 31) who fired tear gas and water canons to push back surging crowds as thousands of supporters descended on the boutique-lined boulevard. More than 500 people were arrested by police during the celebrations on Saturday, the interior ministry said, while two people were reported dead and 192 injured.

PSG beat Auxerre, Saint-Etienne relegated on final day of Ligue 1
PARIS - Paris St. Germain winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored twice in the second half as the Ligue 1 champions came from behind to beat Auxerre 3-1 to end their season on a winning note after falling behind to a Lassine Sinayoko strike. At the other end of the table, St Etienne were beaten 3-2 at home by Toulouse and will join already-relegated Montpellier in Ligue 2 next season after finishing second from bottom, while a late penalty lifted Le Havre to a 3-2 win over Strasbourg and 15th place, leaving Reims to finish 16th and a promotion/relegation playoff against FC Metz. PSG finished on 84 points, 19 ahead of runners-up Olympique de Marseille and 23 ahead of third-placed AS Monaco, who both qualify directly for the Champions League group stage, while OGC Nice thumped Brest 4-0 to finish fourth and enter that competition in the third qualifying round. Unbeaten when they secured the title in early April, PSG looked set to fall to their third defeat in their six subsequent games when Sinayoko gave Auxerre the lead, but Kvaratskhelia bundled the ball over the line for the equaliser in the 59th minute, with Maruinhos adding a header before the Georgian winger scored again late on to wrap up the three points.

Liverpool stuns Paris St. Germain late in first leg of Champions League clash
Paris – Liverpool substitute Harvey Elliott scored a last-gasp winner 47 seconds after coming on to help his side earn a fortunate 1-0 win against Paris St. Germain, which outplayed the Premier League leader during the first leg of their Champions League last-16 clash on Wednesday. Elliott slotted home in the 87th minute against the run of play after a pass from fellow substitute Darwin Nunez for a victory in Paris that Liverpool hardly deserved after goalkeeper Alisson kept it in the game with a string of magnificent saves. Liverpool's goal was its first shot on target and second attempt compared to PSG's 28. "To go away with a win from here was probably a bit more than we deserved," Liverpool coach Arne Slot acknowledged. Luis Enrique's PSG, which had 18 wins and two draws in its last 20 games, was left to rue missed opportunities as it looks toward a tough return leg at Anfield next Tuesday. "We're going to show the team we are, we're going to show our character," PSG midfielder Vitinha said. "We're going to win there. With the game we played, the win was more than deserved. We had plenty of chances ... we just couldn't score." The aggregate winner will face either Aston Villa or Club Brugge in the Champions League last eight. PSG got off to a strong start with Liverpool's attempt at a high press not lasting long. The host had the first clear chance in the 16th minute, but Joao Neves sent his attempt over the bar from Dembele's cutback after the France forward had outpaced two defenders. Alarm bells were ringing for Liverpool, and it escaped punishment again in the 20th minute when Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's superb curled effort was ruled out for offside after a VAR review. Bradley Barcola went down after a challenge from Ibrahima Konate, prompting another video check for a potential red card, but Liverpool stayed with 11 men. With the Reds in survival mode, Alisson parried Neves' 25-meter strike before denying Dembele. The ball went into the path of Barcola, whose first strike was blocked before his second flew over. The Brazilian goalkeeper's firm hand was there again to stop Kvaratskhelia, and he made saves left, right and center early in a one-sided second half. "Without him, I don't know where we'd be," said Elliott said. Slot sent Curtis Jones and Nunez on for Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota in a bid to shift the momentum, but PSG remained a notch above. Alisson, again, stretched to tip away Desire Doue's missile with 10 minutes remaining, and he also played a key role in the buildup to the lone goal of the night. With the clock ticking down, Nunez showed his strength to win Alisson's long ball and played it perfectly into the path of Elliott, who calmly slid the ball past Gianluigi Donnarumma. "You could see they (PSG) had become a bit tired at the end," Elliott added. "It was down to me to put the opportunity away, and fortunately it went in." Alisson, who was named man of the match, said it was the performance of his life. "We had to be ready to suffer ... It was a tough night for us with a happy end," he said. "We worked hard. We gave away so many chances ... And then at the end Harvey coming in and scoring the goal. It's unbelievable. A great story. A great night for us."
