France Sees 890+ Arrests After PSG Champions League Victory

French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez announced Monday that over 890 people were arrested in France during the PSG's Champions League victory celebrations, a 45% increase compared to 2025. He stated that 178 police officers and gendarmes were injured during the two days of celebrations.

According to Nuñez, law enforcement faced "systematic aggression, projectiles, and mortar fire" during the celebrations. President Emmanuel Macron had previously deemed the violence "unacceptable."
