Trash cans on fire on Boulevard Saint-Martin required the intervention of firefighters shortly after 2 a.m.

The situation is calming down in République. The police dispersed the last groups of young people. Follow our reporter Paul Abran (@abran_paul) on site.

A disorderly crowd retreated towards the Place de la Concorde, where they found a large police force. A car was destroyed by fire there. The firefighters are on site.

Luis Enrique could not hide the admiration he has for his team after the match. “It’s a reliable team that can fight all the time. If we have to be in a low block, we can do it. It’s not what we like, but if we have to do it, we do it. It shows our ability to meet the challenge. We like to play good football, but we also like to win the fight. “It remains to be seen how he will choose to play his team in the final against Arsenal.

The Spanish coach also stressed that he has not yet been able to field his starting team which won the C1 final last season in Munich against Inter Milan. “It shows what type of team we are, and what players we have,” concluded the winner of the C1 in 2015 with FC Barcelona and in 2025 with PSG.

There is joy in the Parisian locker room. The images can be found here:

The police arrived in force at the Pont des Invalides on the right bank to try to disperse the crowd. A cloud of tear gas fills the Cours de la Reine, groups of young people respond with fireworks. The crowd ends up moving away, towards the Eiffel Tower or the Concorde, says our reporter on site Auguste Canier (@gustocanier sur X).

The police carried out several charges in République. A group was dispersed using tear gas grenades. Police cars are targeted with bottle throws and other projectiles as they cross the square.

Some damage committed in the capital, like here this fire outbreak at the Armenian Genocide Memorial (8th arrondissement), where a cityscoot was set on fire.

In the streets of the capital, Paris is celebrating. Lots of people on the statue on Place de la République. Songs, fireworks and a good-natured atmosphere.

Supporters, sometimes hooded, try to find a way to get around the police roadblocks. At the Pont des Invalides, the situation is confused. The police chased away groups of supporters using tear gas canisters.

An officer tried to put out a garbage bin that was starting to catch fire. Auguste Canier reports “noises of stun grenades and a strong smell of tear gas”.

Clashes broke out in several places in the capital. Porte de Saint-Cloud, near the Parc des Princes, a person was injured in the hand while trying to throw a pyrotechnic projectile at the police.

In the Les Halles sector and around Boulevard Sébastopol, the police report a tense situation. Store windows were also reportedly broken in the Les Halles district.

“We have to take advantage of this moment. It was a very high level match,” said coach Luis Enrique, after his team qualified for a second consecutive Champions League final.

“We showed what type of team we are. It’s incredible, it’s our second Champions League final, it shows the level,” Luis Enrique appreciated.

“I told you after the group stage that I didn’t see anyone better than us. Everyone criticized me for saying that, but I wasn’t wrong. Bayern Munich were at our level this evening. HAS”

“We have to keep the same mentality as last year,” assured PSG captain Marquinhos after qualifying for a second consecutive Champions League final. “Once is already difficult, a second time in a row is even harder,” said the 31-year-old Brazilian defender, but “it will be important to win a second time.”

According to him, “the confrontation with Bayern was one of the most difficult. They tested us on everything, playing high, going out on the counterattack, having the ball… They took us out of our comfort zone.”

Experiencing his third Champions League final in thirteen seasons, Marquinhos “realizes because after all the years that I have spent here, I know very well that it is hard, the young people perhaps do not realize too much because these last three years have been beautiful “. “But with all the journey I have had, I realize it†.

“It is currently impossible to access Place de l’Etoile,” says Paul Abran, one of our reporters on site. Barriers, vehicles and numerous police officers block all access. Supporters are looking for other places to celebrate qualifying for the final.

Supporters invaded the streets, notably in front of the National Assembly. The police blocked access to Place de l’Etoile and the Champs-Elysées. Follow our reporters on site.

Time is not wasted! PSG will put out a new range of t-shirts, scarves, mugs and even caps while waiting for the Champions League final. On the jerseys it is marked in particular “in the final” or “a Champions League at the Puskas Arena”.

Things are getting heated with the police around the Champs-Elysées.

“We are at home here [rires]. We are very happy. The life of coaches and players is hard because you have to celebrate and enjoy this night and then think about the final. I think we deserve it. We showed a great level of maturity today. We knew when to defend when to attack… We can appreciate the mentality we have. HAS”

“I don’t know if I’m at my prime. I work every day for this. For me the most important thing is the team, I just want to win. HAS”

In a match as intense as that of last week, the Parisians, imperial on the defensive level, only conceded a draw against Bayern Munich at the very end of the game (1-1), this Wednesday evening. After their success (5-4) in the first leg, they thus validated their qualification for a new Champions League final, against Arsenal on May 30. Here are our player ratings.

According to our information, the club will communicate on Thursday May 7 on all the terms and conditions for putting tickets on sale for the Champions League final in Budapest.

“It was an exceptional match, a magical night in Munich. It was a great team, you have to congratulate them for what they did in the Champions League and in the championship. These are matches that we dream of playing when we were little, and here we are still in the final. We remain humble but we will have to win the final. HAS”

“We are capable of defending and attacking, that’s what makes us strong. We are capable of still improving in many aspects. We have ambition.

“It’s magnificent, 2 finals in a row. We are warriors, everyone runs for everyone, we are a strong team, we fight… We have respect for Bayern and its great team. Today was a wonderful match for us. Last year we wrote the history of PSG here (stadium where the Champions League was won). Today we qualify. HAS”

[Sur le back to back] “It’s our dream to win a 2nd Champions League. We have a young team that fights together. Look at the last minute, Kvara was dead but he kept running. We have the best coach in the world, the best supporters in the world… It’s magnificent.”

“We are very proud of our journey, of what we did this evening. It’s time to celebrate being with the group, our family. Playing against Bayern is always difficult, they play very well, it’s a great team. We also know how to suffer. We’re ready for what’s to come.

“It’s really good to play a final again. The team’s investment was very strong, I’m very happy to be in the final. HAS”

“I think that’s what characterizes us: we have a strong mentality, we defend as a group, as a team and that’s what makes the difference with other teams. HAS”
