Hundreds Arrested in France After Soccer Final

French police detained 780 people involved in violent clashes in Paris and other French cities that erupted Saturday night after Paris Saint-Germain won the Champions League soccer title over Arsenal, per the AP. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said 57 officers were wounded, with most suffering minor injuries, as football fans set off fires and vandalized shops in more than two dozen cities. One small group even tried to storm a Paris police station. Nunez said at a news conference Sunday that "the situation has been largely brought under control."

The Paris prosecutors' office said 277 people have been formally placed in police custody, including 82 minors. Most of the alleged offenses were for assault of police officers, along with theft, vandalism, and disturbing the public order. Despite the unrest, a planned celebration for the team's win on Sunday afternoon at the Champ de Mars, near the Eiffel Tower, will proceed as scheduled. The PSG team will then be hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee presidential palace. The game itself was played in Hungary, and it ended in dramatic fashion: a win on penalty kicks.
