PARIS : Paris will deploy thousands of police officers during the Champions League football final between home favourites Paris St-Germain and Inter Milan in Munich on Sunday, French police said today.
'A massive deployment in the capital and its surroundings, with 5,400 personnel mobilised… that's enormous,' Paris police chief Laurent Nunez said in an interview with Le Parisien.
Many of the officers will be deployed on the French capital's Champs-Elysees and around PSG's home stadium Parc des Princes, on the southwestern edge of the city, he said.
The game is the climax to the European season and despite enormous spending, PSG have never won the most glamorous prize in European club football.
This is only PSG's second final since the Qatari takeover of the team from the French capital in 2011.
