PSG is already back in the Champions League final, a year after its Munich coronation at the expense of Inter (5-0). Next May 30 in Budapest, the Parisians will challenge Arsenal to pin a second star on their tunic. An obviously unprecedented back to back for French football which will undoubtedly not be able to be celebrated at its true value.
Falling to Bayern in the half, the capital club saw the festivities of its qualification for the C1 final turn into chaos last Wednesday. With nearly 130 arrests in the Paris metropolitan area, more than 90 people in police custody and no less than 34 injured, including 23 among the police. A deplorable result which will not be without impact on the evening of May 30.
While the new mayor of Paris Emmanuel Grégoire has already mentioned his desire to establish a fan zone for the occasion – probably near Place de la Concorde – the police headquarters has given an unfavorable opinion to this initiative in view of the violence and excesses observed this week.
Law enforcement overwhelmed that evening
For the authorities, the timing of this PSG-Arsenal, which is also scheduled from 6 p.m., is all the more problematic as the police will also have to manage that evening the Roland-Garros tournament and concert events such as those of Aya Nakamura at the Stade de France and the rapper Damso at La Défense Arena.
“ The police headquarters discusses with all parties the various events planned in order to allow residents of the Paris metropolitan area to enjoy the festivities in safety.he is told by Agence France Presse. Its role is to ensure the safety of those who wish to party but also to ensure that those who would like to take advantage of a moment of jubilation to commit offenses cannot disturb the peace and quiet of all. At this stage of the discussions, the police headquarters is against the installation of a fan zone in Paris on May 30. »
