PSG celebrate with Macron at Elysee Palace

Paris Saint-Germain received a hero's welcome on Sunday as tens of thousands of supporters gathered across the French capital to celebrate the club's second consecutive Champions League title.

Fans lined the route from Charles de Gaulle Airport to Champ-de-Mars, where players displayed the trophy beneath the Eiffel Tower following their penalty shootout victory over Arsenal in Budapest.

The squad later met President Emmanuel Macron before ending the day with a celebration at Parc des Princes.

The festivities followed a night of unrest that overshadowed the sporting achievement. Authorities reported hundreds of arrests, injuries to police officers and participants, and incidents of looting and vandalism in Paris and other cities.

Municipal workers spent the morning clearing damaged streets ahead of the team's arrival. Macron condemned the violence and vowed a firm response.
