Riots erupt across Paris as PSG clinches Championship win

Paris police detained 45 people after violence disrupted celebrations late Saturday of Paris Saint-Germain's second Champions League title win.

Fans began celebrating in Paris after the final whistle earlier in the evening in Budapest, Hungary, where PSG won by beating Arsenal on penalties in a dramatic final.

Dozens of fans marched along the avenues near the Arc de Triomphe, with some setting off flares and blaring car horns.

Around 20,000 people gathered on the Champs-Elysees, with police working to contain the crowd.

Another group that attempted to storm a police station in the posh 8th Arrondissement neighbourhood were dispersed, police said.

Smaller groups caused disturbances in various locations, with some vandalizing shops and setting fires.

The main ring road surrounding Paris was briefly blockaded by a crowd before police dispersed it.

Officers also contained about 1,000 people gathered near the PSG stadium in the 16th Arrondissement and cleared barricades made from bicycles.
