Tensions escalate in Paris. Major clashes erupt near Parc des Princes during the final
As a fierce battle unfolds on the pitch in Budapest, the heart of France is rapidly spiraling out of control.
Details: In the area around the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris, where thousands of fans have gathered to watch the match, the first major outbreaks of violence and clashes with law enforcement have been reported. The situation escalated in an instant: radical supporters sparked mass riots, hurling pyrotechnics and powerful fireworks directly at police units.
In response to the crowd's aggression, police immediately deployed tear gas, triggering a severe stampede and panic among the assembled crowd. Eyewitnesses at the scene report chaotic scenes as hundreds of frightened fans fled the epicenter of the clashes.
The Champions League final is still underway, but on the streets of Paris, real chaos has already erupted. Clearly, the police were not fully prepared for such an early outbreak of violence.
Reminder: PSG winger Ousmane Dembélé set a unique record in the final against Arsenal.
