Crowds of rowdy fans set fires and scuffled with police in Paris on Saturday as Paris St Germain won their second Champions League title, prompting celebrations in the French capital. 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. Tensions started around PSG's Parc de Princes stadium in western Paris, where over 40,000 watched the duel taking place in Budapest. Used to violent clashes that often overshadow large events, France deployed 22,000 police in the capital and nearly 300 people were arrested. Last year, two people died and close to 200 were injured after PSG won the Champions League for the first time. #psg #arsenal #football #violence #police #paris #france #budapest #championsleague
