Paris Violence | The Night Paris Plunged Into Chaos: Riots, Death, Mayhem Grip City Streets

Jerseys, flares, strangers hugging in the street. When your club wins the Champions League, the night writes itself. The next morning, you might look back and think: what a riot that was. In Paris on Saturday, it wasn't a figure of speech. Paris Saint-Germain retained the Champions League title on Saturday, beating Arsenal 4-3 on penalties in Budapest, but the joy of victory gave way to destruction on the streets of France's capital. What began as the Eiffel Tower itself glowing in blue and red degenerated into a scene of riots, violence and burning cars. By morning, one person was dead, more than 780 people were under arrest, and over 264 cars had been reduced to ash.
