French police detained over 400 people involved in violent clashes in Paris and other French cities that erupted Saturday night after Paris Saint-Germain won the Champions League title, according to authorities.
Seven officers were injured as football fans set off fires and vandalized property during celebrations that turned destructive. The interior ministry confirmed the arrests, with most detainees held for public order offenses.
The violence occurred after PSG defeated their opponents in the final, sparking both joy and unrest among fans. Police deployed additional forces to control the situation, particularly around the Champs-ΓlysΓ©es and other major gathering points.
Authorities said the situation has been brought under control, but investigations are ongoing to identify other participants in the disturbances. The government condemned the violence and urged fans to celebrate responsibly.
