2 fans dead, hundreds arrested after celebrations in France from PSG's Champions League win
A pair of fans died, a police officer is in a coma and hundreds of people were arrested following massive celebrations throughout France after Paris-Saint-Germain's Champions League victory, officials said Sunday. A 17-year-old boy was stabbed in the city of Dax — which sits south of Bordeaux in southwestern France — during a PSG street party on Saturday night. A second man in his 20s was killed in Paris when his scooter was hit by a car during similar celebrations, according to The Associated Press. Both instances are being investigated, though officials believe the deaths were linked to the celebrations. The driver in the second death was detained. Advertisement A police officer in Coutance — which is in northwest France — was accidentally hit by a firework. He was placed into a coma due to 'grave eye injuries,' per the report. Nearly 200 people were injured around the capital, four seriously, and nearly 300 people had been arrested by 2 a.m. Sunday. "These isolated acts are contrary to the clubs' values, and don't at all represent the immense majority of our fans," the team said in a statement. The celebrations and chaos came shortly after PSG clinched its first Champions League title Saturday. The club rolled over Inter Milan to a 5-0 win at Allianz Arena in Germany. An official celebration took place Sunday afternoon, when more than 100,000 people were expected to attend the parade in Paris and a subsequent celebration at Parc des Princes stadium. The team rode an open-air bus with the trophy throughout the parade route, and then they arrived at their stadium for a concert and celebration seemingly without much issue. The violence is the second of its kind in recent weeks in Europe following a soccer championship. At least 50 fans were injured after a man drove his car into a crowd at a parade celebrating Liverpool's Premier League title.

2 dead, police officer in coma after mass PSG UCL title celebrations
The post 2 dead, police officer in coma after mass PSG UCL title celebrations appeared first on ClutchPoints. PSG earned a historic victory over Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League Final on Saturday afternoon, as they demolished the Italian superpower squad with a 5-0 win. The first ever title for Paris Saint-Germain in Europe's most prestigious tournament didn't come without some tragedy, though, as deadly celebrations marred the team's major accomplishment. As the Parisians coasted to victory, the party began, but things turned sour quickly. In Munich, where the game was played, a 17-year-old old PSG fan was stabbed to death during a street party, and in Paris, a man in his 20s was hit by a car while on his scooter during the celebrations. Elsewhere, a police officer in Coutances was placed in an artificial coma after getting accidentally hit by fireworks and sustaining serious eye injuries. 'Two fans died and a police officer is in a coma after mass nationwide celebrations for Paris Saint-Germain's historic Champions League victory, European football's biggest prize, French authorities said Sunday,' ESPN reported on Sunday morning. Given the passion PSG's fans have for their team, it shouldn't come as a surprise that they were fired up after this big win. Unfortunately, several of the celebrations got taken too far, with Paris' police chief reporting that a total of 192 people were injured in the areas surrounding France's capital in the wake of this game. PSG has closed off another successful season with a major win, as they dominated Inter Milan from start to finish. Achraf Hakimi opened the scoring in the 12th minute, before Desire Doue scored a pair of goals to extend the lead to 3-0. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Mayulu both scored in the final 20 minutes of action, capping off the biggest margin of victory in the history of the UEFA Champions League Final.
