The BBC’s Paris correspondent, James Waterhouse, described the French capital as “jubilant” on Sunday as he reported from the Champ de Mars where fans greeted the Paris St-Germain (PSG) players after their Champions League win.
But celebrations were tainted on Saturday, as thousands of police officers were deployed to curb unrest that disrupted public services and left 219 people injured.
Eight people were in a serious condition following clashes between football fans and police, France’s Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said.
French authorities said that 780 people were arrested in Paris after clashes.
