Police and Paris Saint-Germain fans clashed in scary scenes with riots breaking out in France’s capital during and after the Champions League final.
PSG stormed into a two-goal lead with just 20 minutes played against Inter Milan after goals from Achraf Hakimi and Desire Doue.
The French giants had never won the Champions League but they did so in style with a 5-0 thumping of the Italian club.
Back home in Paris, it appears as though some fans kickstarted the celebrations early as they took to the streets.
However, there were unsavoury scenes in the city as police stepped in to control the excited crowds.
Videos on social media show PSG supporters running in front of cars on the motorway during the early stages of the second half.
On the Champs Elysees, bus shelters were smashed up and projectiles were hurled at police.
Tear gas and water cannons were used to push back surging crowds.
Nearly 300 people had been arrested in the capital, with many more across the country.
“Troublemakers on the Champs-Elysees were looking to create incidents and repeatedly came into contact with police by throwing large fireworks and other objects,” police said in a statement.
Ousmane Dembele urged supporters to keep the peace as they celebrated.
“Let’s celebrate this but not tear everything up in Paris,” Dembele told Canal+.
