Two people are dead and nearly 560 people were arrested after disorder broke out in France following Paris Saint-Germain's victory in the Champions League final, the French interior ministry has said.

The ministry added 192 people were injured and there were 692 fires, including 264 involving vehicles.

A 17-year-old boy was stabbed to death in the city of Dax during a PSG street party after Saturday night's final in Munich, the national police service said.

The second person killed was a man who was hit by a car while riding a scooter during PSG celebrations, the interior minister's office said.  

 

  French authorities have reported that a police officer is in a coma following the clashes  

 

 Mr Nuñez said that the police presence and military presence in Paris will be increased on the ground for the celebrations.  

 

 

At the top of the Champs Élysées, a water cannon was used to protect the Place de l'Etoile, near the landmark Arc de Triomphe.

Police said a large crowd not watching the match tried to push through a barrier to make contact with officers.

Some 131 arrests were made, including 30 who broke into a shoe shop on the Champs Élysées.

Police have said a total of four shops, including a car dealership and a barbers, were targeted during the disorder in Paris.  

 

 

French President Emmanuel Macron also said on social media: "A glorious day for PSG!

"Bravo, we are all proud. Paris, the capital of Europe this evening."  

 

 

Mr Macron's office said the president would receive the players at the Elysee Palace on Sunday.

The team are also expected to parade down the Champs Élysées.
