Historical. Saturday evening, PSG defeated Arsenal and thus won the second Champions League in its history. A magical evening for the capital club which was, despite everything, also marked by excesses in Paris. This Sunday, the mayor of the city, Emmanuel Grégoire reacted to the success of the Parisians but also to the excesses. “PSG’s victory in the Champions League is a historic moment for Paris. The vast majority of Parisians celebrated it with joy, unity and respect.Grégoire first declared before denouncing the violence committed.
“But I cannot ignore the violence and damage committed last night in several sectors of the capital. This is unacceptable. Nothing, absolutely nothing, justifies attacking the common property of Parisians. I condemn these acts in the strongest possible terms. As of Saturday afternoon, our cleaning agents were already mobilized around the Parc des Princes. From midnight, they cleaned, repaired and restored Paris all night, tirelessly. This Sunday, the mobilization continues on the Champ-de-Mars and around the Parc des Princes. I went to the field to say thank you in person. Their commitment and professionalism are remarkable. Paris won last night. These isolated acts will take nothing away from our collective pride.”.
