Paris Saint-Germain football club has won the Champions League for the first time

Fans rioted after Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) stormed to their first-ever UEFA Champions League title, obliterating Inter Milan with a historic 5-0 rout in the final held in Munich.

The French powerhouse made history as the first club to win a Champions League final by a five-goal margin, cementing their dominance on Europe's grandest stage. PSG's Desire Doue became the sixth player in UEFA Champions League history to both score and assist in a final.

In Paris, euphoria erupted as fans flooded the streets, waving PSG scarves from car windows and setting off fireworks to celebrate the team's maiden Champions League triumph. But the festivities turned chaotic on the Champs-Elysees, where police deployed tear gas and pepper spray to quell unrest.

A police spokesperson said a car set ablaze near Parc des Princes and said dozens of arrests were made by the end of the night.

In Munich, footage captured PSG and Inter fans clashing violently on public transport, with bottles flying and fists swinging. According to media outlets, at least one PSG supporter was injured in an ambush at the Universitat subway station, with reports alleging that Inter hooligans wielded bladed weapons.

The violence underscores the intense rivalries that often erupt during high-stakes European fixtures.
