PSG Final Sees 890+ Arrests in France

French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez announced that more than 890 people were arrested in France following PSG's Champions League triumph, representing a 45% increase compared to 2025. The violence resulted in 178 police and gendarmerie officers being injured during disturbances in Paris and other cities.

President Emmanuel Macron condemned the violence as "inqualifiable" after the club's victory in Budapest. Forces of order faced systematic aggressions, including projectile throwing and mortar fire during the two days of disturbances. In 2025, following PSG's first Champions League win, 592 people had been arrested, including 491 in Paris alone. sports24.club
