Crowds of rowdy fans set fires and scuffled with police on Saturday (May 30) in Paris as Paris St Germain won their second Champions League title, prompting celebrations in the French capital.

Tens of thousands of fans were expected to gather in the Parc des Princes stadium in the French capital to watch the duel taking place in Budapest and cheer on their home team.

PSG held their nerve in a cagey Champions League final to retain the title by beating Arsenal 4-3 on penalties as Saturday’s showdown ended 1-1 after extra time, cementing the French side's status among Europe's modern greats.

Long dismissed as glamorous underachievers despite vast resources, the Ligue 1 champions have now forged a dynasty under Luis Enrique, marrying attacking brilliance with resilience to establish themselves as the dominant force in European football.
