TWO people died, hundreds were arrested and cars set ablaze in France overnight as football fans celebrated Paris Saint-Germain’s stunning Champions League final victory, the interior ministry said yesterday.

The epicentre of the euphoria was in Paris, which was a theatre of car horns, cheers, singing in the street and fireworks throughout the night following PSG’s 5-0 triumph over Inter Milan in Munich.

The ministry said 491 people were arrested in the capital when crowds converged on the Champs-Elysees avenue and clashes broke out with officers.

Across France as a whole, including Paris, at least 559 people were arrested, it added.

The two deaths occurred as the celebrations took place. A man riding a motor scooter in Paris died after being hit by a car a couple of kilometres away from the Champs-Elysees.
