More than 550 Parisians celebrating PSG's first-ever Champions League trophy have been arrested after two people died and nearly 200 people were left injured following violent clashes with riot police.
The jubilant fans were hit with tear gas as concerns over the chaos in the French capital ramped up, despite the game taking place over 500 miles away in Munich.
Two people have been reported dead in separate incidents, and 192 were left injured following the full-time whistle.
A 17-year-old boy was fatally stabbed in the chest in Landes, near Bordeaux, and a woman, aged 20, died after she was hit by a vehicle carrying fans in Paris.

Local police said that the teenage boy "was part of a crowd celebrating the PSG win in a designated fanzone, and died from his wounds in hospital".
Four people were also injured after a car ploughed into people at Cours Jean-Jaurés in Grenoble, near Lyon, with the driver being arrested a few minutes later after fleeing the scene.
Two women and one man, reportedly from the same family, have been seriously injured and were taken to Grenoble Alpes University Hospital.
The violence was first reported at half-time when police in riot gear were seen confronting fans.
