The day after Paris Saint-Germain’s victory over Arsenal in the Champions League final, fans of Luis Enrique’s team took to the Champ de Mars to celebrate the two-time European champions returning from Budapest.
“Doing it once is history, twice is legend,” commented Paris captain Marquinhos, who delivered a superb performance. After Gabriel’s decisive missed penalty, Marquinhos ran over to embrace and comfort the opposing player.
After the parade, the team was greeted by French President Emmanuel Macron, before an additional public celebration at the Parc des Princes to display the trophy.
While Sunday was marked by celebrations, the French capital was also hit by serious disturbances during the night, with 780 people detained, more than 280 injuries, and an investigation opened into a death, which may be linked to the incidents following the final.
