Following Paris Saint-Germain's (PSG) Champions League final victory against Arsenal on Saturday night, riots erupted across Paris, leading to the arrest of 780 individuals. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez reported that 219 people were injured during clashes between football fans and police.
To curb the unrest, approximately 6,000 police officers were deployed, disrupting train and rail services in the capital. The violence included attempts by rioters to block roads, with eight individuals reported in serious condition.
