Thousands of supporters gathered across the city to watch the match with many packed into the Parc des Princes stadium.

Disturbing footage online showed how during the final Paris was plunged into trouble with dozens of fires breaking out.

Several intense safety operations were launched by French firefighters near to the stadium.

Video appeared to show bikes and mattresses set alight with thick black smoke billowing through the night sky.

Concerns over safety in the French capital ramped up as the final drew closer.

PSG’s official club shop was barricaded shut for the day as part of beefed-up security protocols to avoid potential trouble.

In footage shared by Agence de Presse, the Ligue 1 champions’ official store on the Champs-Elysees can be seen being boarded up.

They claim that this measure has been taken due to “looting fears”.

Across in Munich, where the final was being played, even more fan clashes erupted.

Dramatic footage pre-match showed fights kicking off between rival supporters as they made their way to the match on public transport.

Some were even spotted throwing stones at each other at Fröttmaning station near the Allianz Arena, Bild has reported.

PSG won the Champions League for their first time after a record-breaking 5-0 win.

Achraf Hakimi capped off a stunning move to give the French giants the lead after just 12 minutes.

Moments later, Desire Doue‘s heavily deflected strike doubled PSG’s advantage as Inter made a horror start to the final.

The teenager marked his Player of the Match performance with another goal in the second half to give PSG a healthy 3-0 lead.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia got on the scoresheet with just over a quarter of an hour remaining as the French giants went four in front.

Academy star Senny Mayulu added a fifth in injury time as PSG became the first team to win the Champions League or European Cup final by a five-goal margin.
