Paris erupts in joy as PSG returns

Violence which marred the victory celebrations in the French capital widely condemned

PARIS — Paris Saint-Germain players, staff and fans stretched their Champions League celebrations deep into Sunday evening as they finished a day of festivities in the French capital at a packed and delirious Parc des Princes stadium.

Players sung and danced and waved the trophy on their home pitch as music blared and star Parisian rappers performed before a jubilant crowd.

The well-wishers included tennis player Novak Djokovic, hours ahead of his fourth-round match at nearby Roland Garros, and former French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
