Paris Saint-Germain supporters had waited years for a Champions League title, and when the long-anticipated moment finally arrived on Saturday, thousands of fans poured onto the pitch to celebrate — many taking home pieces of the goalposts and turf as cherished souvenirs of an unforgettable night.
Following PSG’s emphatic 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in a one-sided final in Munich, jubilant fans behind the goal surged onto the pitch moments after their team lifted the trophy. Stewards struggled to contain the crowds as they streamed forward, and police formed a cordon to stop them from advancing beyond the penalty area — much like PSG had restricted Inter’s movements during the match.
Excited fans tore apart the goal net, ripped up chunks of the pitch, and tried to get closer to the players who had just made history. PSG midfielder João Neves was even spotted cutting off a piece of the remaining net for himself — a keepsake from the biggest night of his club career.
Throughout the final, PSG fans generated a deafening atmosphere, passionately supporting their team from the stands. After the final whistle, they unveiled a giant banner in memory of manager Luis Enrique’s late daughter, Xana, who passed away in 2019 — a poignant gesture on an emotional night.
While the pitch invasion at Munich’s Allianz Arena remained largely peaceful, back in Paris, celebrations took a darker turn, with clashes breaking out between revelers and police in the French capital.
