French Police Detain 79 After PSG’s Champions League Celebrations Turn Violent

June 2, 2025, 2:27 pm

French authorities detained 79 people in the second such wave of arrests during celebrations following Paris Saint-Germain’s football Champions League win, a police chief said Monday.

The PSG thrashed Inter Milan by a record 5-0 in Saturday evening’s final in Munich, flying back to Paris on Sunday for a triumphal parade along the Champs Elysees, then celebrations in a packed Parc des Princes stadium on the edge of the French capital.

The PSG winning the biggest prize in European club football for the first time sparked delirious festivities in France, but was marred by violence.

On Sunday, “we saw a resurgence of individuals driven by malicious intent who were not really PSG supporters,” Paris police chief Laurent Nunez told RTL radio.

“We arrested 79 people, some of them in the night,” he said, adding that order had been restored before dawn.

Some were detained over taking barriers and briefly blocking the ring road around Paris, while others had tried to vandalise businesses or fired fireworks on the Champs Elysees, he said.

On Saturday night, police had made more than 500 arrests across France, the interior ministry said, after more than 200 cars were torched and police clashed with youths.

In the southwest town of Dax, a 17-year-old boy died after being stabbed in the chest.

A 23-year-old man riding a scooter in central Paris also died after being hit by a vehicle.

A policeman was in an induced coma after being injured by a firework.

Receiving the triumphant team at the Elysee palace on Sunday, French President Emmanuel Macron condemned what he called “unacceptable” violence during the festivities.

Many of the stars of the team, one of the youngest in the competition, are drawn from the huge football talent pool in the Paris suburbs after PSG’s Qatari owners turned their back on the policy of signing star players like Neymar and Lionel Messi.

A total of 11.5 million people tuned in across France to watch the match.

Inter’s Last Dance? Veteran Squad Faces PSG in UEFA Champions League Final

May 27, 2025, 2:09 pm

Inter Milan’s ageing squad might find themselves in one of their last chances to win the highest football prize in Europe as they readied themselves to meet Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in Saturday’s UEFA Champions League final in Munich.

They are considered underdogs and have surprised many with knockout victories over Bayern Munich and Barcelona. They have shown that experience is still a factor that is important to modern football.

Inter Chases Redemption

The final provides them a chance for some revenge for losing in the 2023 final to Manchester City. Coach Inzaghi admitted the loss still hurts as his team came close to matching the Premier League giants but just fell short. Now the Nerazzurri play yet another global powerhouse, pairing them against PSG as they attempt to collect the title that they could not hoist in some years, and rescue a season that slipped away domestically.

“I think they are well aware (of the occasion). We’ve been close before. Now we are at the last step.” Inzaghi stated before the match. Inter won’t be unfamiliar to the PSG players as most of them have played at the highest level before; however, at the same time, they have the same pressure to win the title challenge, with several of the players nearing the end of their careers.

The players include Yann Sommer (36), now 37, Francesco Acerbi, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan (36), alongside a large contingent of players who started above 30.

A Young, Robust PSG

PSG fields a predominantly youthful squad, while Inter’s players rely on discipline, determination, and tactical savvy. Their unexpected success over the last couple of months as part of a long European run, occurring amid a season disrupted by ownership.

While PSG spent over €70 million to recruit Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Inter mostly recruited free agents, like Sommer, and bargain deals like Thuram.

Only one match remains, and Inter’s ageing warriors must give their all as they face PSG on Saturday in Munich.

Inter Milan Triumphs Over Bayern Munich to Secure Champions League Semifinal Spot

April 17, 2025, 12:56 pm

Ex-Bayern Munich defender Benjamin Pavard scored against his former club to guide Inter Milan to a 2-2 draw with the German side on Wednesday, taking the Nerazzurri through to the Champions League semifinals 4-3 on aggregate. It was Pavard’s first goal for Inter, since the France international signed from Bayern in 2023. “There’s certainly a lot of emotions as it’s my first goal, moreover it’s at San Siro,” said Pavard, who last scored almost exactly two years ago to the day. “So there were a lot of emotions but I had to stay in the match, I couldn’t think of the goal, I had to remain focused.”

Martínez and Pavard Fire Back for Inter Milan

Harry Kane had brought the quarterfinal level at the start of the second half but Inter quickly reversed the game with Lautaro Martínez and Pavard goals on a windy evening in Milan. Eric Dier headed the equalizer on the evening, in the 76th minute, to arrange for a tense finish. Inter will play Barcelona in the semifinals. It defeated the same team in the final four in 2010 en route to Champions League victory and the treble under José Mourinho. Simone Inzaghi’s side are in with a chance to do it again this season.

PSG to Face Arsenal in Other Semifinal

The other semifinal match features Paris Saint-Germain vs. Arsenal, which defeated 2-1 at Real Madrid on Wednesday to qualify 5-1 on aggregate. Inter had shocked Bayern last week, defeating 2-1 to deal the German club its first home loss in the tournament in nearly four years. Bayern manager Vincent Kompany described having “some regrets” over the two matches, with his team failing to score several chances and thereby losing the chance of hoisting the Champions League trophy in their home stadium on May 31.

Vincent Kompany Reflects on Missed Opportunities

“The hard reality is that we’re not going to play the Champions League final at home,” Kompany said. “That’s the hard reality. We can’t change it. The other side is the performance side. We know we did enough to win these two games.” It was a wet and windy night at San Siro and the gusts caused some misplaced passes. The visitors had a few early opportunities, with Pavard charging down an effort by Michael Olise and Alessandro Bastoni timing a sliding tackle to perfection to also deny Olise, who had gone clear on goal. Inter managed to slow things down after the frantic start and began to have opportunities of its own.

Thrilling Action Leads to Goals Galore for Inter Milan and Bayern

Hakan Çalhanoglu came closest in the 33rd minute with one of his signature long-range efforts that whistled past the right-hand upright. There was alarm in the Inter zone soon after and Bayern’s first-leg scorer Thomas Müller had a shot deflected by Matteo Darmian and Leroy Sané had the rebound saved by Yann Sommer. But Bayern broke the deadlock ” and levelled the quarterfinal ” seven minutes into the second half. Inter were unable to clear a cross properly and the ball found its way through to Leon Goretzka, who played Kane in and the England forward steadied himself before shooting past Federico Dimarco and into the far bottom corner.

But Inter equalized just seven minutes later. Lautaro ” Inter’s all-time leading scorer in the competition ” miscontrolled a corner but was quickest to the ball and was able to bundle it into the bottom left corner. The World Cup winner with Argentina jumped onto the advertising hoardings in front of the Inter fans and stretched his arms out. There were even more ecstatic celebrations three minutes later when Pavard headed another corner. The Inter fans were in for a nervy last 14 minutes, though, as Serge Gnabry’s cross picked out Dier on the byline, and his header curiously curled into the far top corner from the closest of angles.

Napoli Beat Inter Milan to Stay in Serie A Title Race

March 31, 2025, 1:59 pm

Napoli remained behind Serie A pacesetters Inter Milan on Sunday after a 2-1 win over AC Milan to stay three points behind the pace in the Scudetto championship. Antonio Conte’s team were in front with a minute to go on the clock courtesy of Matteo Politano’s powerful low shot, and after Romelu Lukaku chipped in his 400th goal of his career in the 19th minute, the hosts had enough margin to take the three points.

Sunday’s victory was massive for Napoli because only one of their remaining eight league games next week at fourth-placed Bologna is against a team that remains in the top half of the division. In contrast to Inter, who managed to edge Udinese 2-1 in another early Sunday game, Napoli have no Italian Cup or European commitments and can devote themselves solely to attempting to claim their second title in three yers.

“We can only take it one game at a time,” commented Politano. “We believe in ourselves, we have to try to make our fantastic fans happy and then we’ll see where we are at the end of the season.”

Inter Milan’s Late Fightback Falls Short

Inter Milan, who had seen Ruben Loftus-Cheek go out with acute appendicitis, were abject in the opening half, but bringing on Rafael Leao and Santiago Gimenez in the interval lifted them out of their trance.

Gimenez missed from the spot, reducing the difference in the 69th minute, as his low attempt was saved by Alex Meret after Philip Billing brought down Theo Hernandez. Another replacement in Jovic scored from Hernandez’s low cross with six minutes remaining, but Milan remain ninth and nine points behind Champions League spots after leaving it too late to attempt a comeback.

Milan now host Inter in the first leg of their Italian Cup semi-final on Wednesday before Fiorentina come to the San Siro next weekend, with their Champions League hopes in tatters.

“We were too slow to enter the game. The first pass they played forward resulted in their first goal,” Conceicao said. “It wasn’t the first 20 minutes we rehearsed. We sorted some things out in the second half and had lots of opportunities. I think a draw would have been a reasonable outcome.”

Nervy Inter Milan Secure Another Win

Marko Arnautovic and Davide Frattesi goals within the first half an hour were sufficient to deliver Inter their third consecutive victory before this first cup derby against Milan.

But fidgety Inter nearly blew the points as coach Simone Inzaghi made a string of changes late in the second period, and Oumar Solet reduced the arrears for Udinese with a cannon of a shot in the 71st minute.

Inter have an enormous month ahead with a titanic Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich and tricky games with fourth-placed Bologna and Roma that may be pivotal to their title defense.

“We almost failed to win a match which we started really well. At a certain point, we just stopped playing,” said Inzaghi, who was sent off after blowing his top at his team and officials in the final minutes.

Inzaghi will be happy to have seen second-string players step up given his side’s next obligations, with Arnautovic and Frattesi putting Inter in thoroughly deserved command at the interval by converting Federico Dimarco crosses in the 12th and 29th minutes.

Atalanta’s Title Hopes Fade

Inter have also all but extinguished Atalanta’s faint chance of claiming their first league title, with the Bergamo club nine points behind with eight games left after crumbling to a 1-0 loss at Fiorentina.

Moise Kean delivered the first league away loss for Atalanta since August when he scored his 16th league goal of the season with assurance on the brink of half-time after stealing the ball off Isak Hien on the halfway line.

“We didn’t have the dynamism and energy to cause Fiorentina any trouble. We simply have to move on and look to the future,” Gasperini stated.

Cagliari strengthened their bid to avoid relegation by thumping rock-bottom Monza 3-0 and moving six points clear of the drop zone.

Manchester City clinches maiden Champions League glory and historic treble

June 11, 2023, 4:57 pm

Manchester City completed the treble with a spirited 1-0 victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League final on a Saturday night in Istanbul.

In a close game, City overcame Inter thanks to a goal from Rodri in the second half. With the win, Manchester City became only the second English team to complete the treble. The team’s first-ever triple in European football was also made possible by the victory, a goal they had been pursuing ever since Pep Guardiola was hired as the team’s manager.

At Istanbul’s Ataturk Olympic Stadium, where the players fought for tempo the whole game, it was the least Manchester City-like triumph it could muster. Inter Milan, who participated in their first final since winning the 2010 title, had their hopes dashed by Rodri’s flash of brilliance in the 68th minute of the game.

With this victory, they matched their city rivals’ feat from 1999 after defeating Arsenal to win the Premier League trophy and beating Manchester United to win the FA Cup at Wembley. The match between City and Inter was strained and tough. In a close first half, City struggled to exert their typical, dominating style upon the Italians, with Erling Haaland’s best attempt being expertly denied by Andre Onana.

The inspiring Kevin de Bruyne was forced to leave the game after appearing to hurt his hamstring in the second straight Champions League final. After the break, the pattern persisted, but Lautaro Martinez came close for the Italians until Rodri’s precise effort into the corner in the 68th minute gave City the lead. Two minutes later, the Nerazzurri’s Federico Dimarco should have equalised, but his looping header struck the crossbar, and his follow-up was unintentionally blocked by teammate Romelu Lukaku.

With only a few minutes left, Lukaku had a better opportunity. The pass was centred by Robin Gosens, and the striker only needed to outmuscle Ederson. His header was solid, but it missed the corner because of an incredible save by the goalkeeper.

Manchester City ready to take on Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League final

June 10, 2023, 4:39 pm

Manchester City is ready to take on Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League final on Sunday at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium. Ahead of the match, Manchester City’s manager, Pep Guardiola, stressed that the team is ready for the finals, according to the official website of Manchester City.

Manchester City already had a successful domestic season. They have won the Premier League title and the FA Cup this season. Now, Pep Guardiola’s side will be looking to complete their treble, having won two titles already.

According to the official website of Manchester City, Pep Guardiola said, “Tomorrow will be the same. I will have a plan. We are ready; I have the feeling the players will give absolutely everything. Go for it”. He further added, “We have to be patient. The most important thing in this type of game is thinking we are 0-0 and thinking we are losing.”
Speaking in a press conference in Turkey ahead of the final match, Pep Guardiola said, “Italian teams are 0-0 and think they are winning. They are not winning; it is 0-0. We have to be stable, get the rhythm, and be stable.”

As per the official website of Manchester City, Pep Guardiola said, “It’s important in the final to have a plan. But finals are one-off games, and if it goes bad, we can put more strikers in.”

“Or maybe we put seven central defenders; I don’t know. There are moments when it will be, guys; there are no tactics here. It’s just a desire we have to go”, said Pep Guardiola. In 2021, Manchester City featured in the final of the UEFA Champions League against Chelsea. Unfortunately, Manchester City was defeated 1-0 by Chelsea in the final.

Speaking on the last final Champions League encounter, Pep Guardiola said, “It’s a different game, two years later, different players.” What we planned two years ago was to play a good game against Chelsea. It did not work. That’s why people say it was wrong.” Manchester City will be hoping to make amends in their second appearance in the UEFA Champions League final against Inter Milan.

Inter Milan enters first Champions League final since 2010

May 17, 2023, 5:03 pm

Inter Milan defeated AC Milan 1-0 in an all-Italian UEFA Champions League semifinal second-leg clash, storming into their first final at the prestigious competition since 2010 on Tuesday after completing a 3-0 win on aggregate.

Previously, Milan had beaten AC Milan 2-0 in the first leg. Three-time champions Inter will now meet either Real Madrid or Manchester City in the final on 10 June in Istanbul, in their first final appearance since 2010, when they defeated Bayern Munich to win the title.

Lautaro Martinez sealed their advancement in the 74th minute, beating AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan with an angled strike at a noisy San Siro. AC Milan had some bright moments in the first half, with Brahim Diaz and the returning Rafael Leao missing their finest chances, but failed to even manage a shot on target in a one-sided second half as Simone Inzaghi’s team cruised to victory.

Inter threatened to blast away AC Milan in the first leg last week, scoring both goals within the first 11 minutes through Edin Dzeko and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, but this time Stefano Pioli’s side looked more dangerous early on. Inter were given a scare when Theo Hernandez fired inches over the bar from long range, and Diaz then squandered a golden opportunity after a great run and cut-back by midfielder Sandro Tonali.

Leao, who had missed the first leg due to a muscular ailment, also went close, sprinting away from Matteo Darmian and sending a low effort just beyond Onana’s left-hand post, but Inter mainly controlled the game in the first half and had chances of their own. Dzeko came closest, with his flicked header from Hakan Calhanoglu’s free kick necessitating a quick reaction save from Maignan, who also denied Nicolo Barella, albeit with the Inter player offside.

AC Milan needed to come up with something extraordinary in the second half if they were to reach their 12th final in their illustrious history, but they came out of the break looking defeated.

Inter kept them at bay with ease, with AC Milan barely appearing as an attacking force, and then, when the opportunity to end the game presented itself, Martinez grabbed it. Inside the box, the Argentina international exchanged passes with substitute Romelu Lukaku before shifting the ball onto his left foot and beating Maignan with a strong finish.

In stoppage time, Lukaku almost got in on the act, forcing a save from Maignan with another well-hit shot, but the Inter fans inside the San Siro had already begun their celebrations with the Champions League final looming.

The Portuguese winger Rafael Leao was ruled out of the squad because of an injury. The veteran striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was also not included in the squad due to a knee injury.

After the match, Inter Milan striker Edin Dzeko stated, “It feels very good, especially because it’s a derby. We played away on paper. It’s a great result for us. Sometimes you get into this difficult moment where the ball doesn’t want to go in. Patience and work always pay off. I was calm knowing the goals would come as always. Today is the proof.” The two sides will be facing each other for the 2nd Leg of the Semi-Final on May 17.

‘We can knock anybody out’, AC Milan manager ahead of semis clash against Inter Milan

May 10, 2023, 4:26 pm

Ahead of their breathtaking encounter, AC Milan manager Stefano Pioli has sent a strong message.

Italy’s local rivalry “Derby della Madonnina”—AC Milan vs. Inter Milan—is set to transpire in the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League on Thursday at the San Siro Stadium. AC Milan have already pulled off some unexpected results as they knocked out Tottenham Hotspur and Serie A champion Napoli to book their place in the UCL semifinals. Poli believes that his team is in possession of the required strength to knock any team out of the tournament.

“We’ve knocked out Tottenham and Napoli; we can knock anybody out. Inter are the favourites for some, but we want to give it a good go. We need to take into account that this tie was played over 180 minutes. We’ve been in great form in the Champions League. Now, we’ll try to take one more step to reach the final; it would be amazing,” Pioli said in the pre-match conference, as quoted by AC Milan.

“It’s a derby. It’s a special game. I like to play in these. I’m proud of this AC Milan team, and I’m highly motivated. I always try to be positive with my teammates. We hope to put in a good performance; everyone will need to give 100%. The details could make the difference.”

The biggest advantage that Milan have over their local rivals will be their home crowd, which will act as the 12th man throughout the match. “We’re expecting the atmosphere at San Siro to be electric. The fans will drive us to give our all from start to finish,” Pioli added.

AC Milan and Inter Milan have produced some of the most thrilling football clashes. The last time they faced each other at UCL was in 2005, when Milan cruised through Inter with a 5-0 aggregate score in the quarterfinal stage of the tournament.

Inter have only scored a single goal against their arch-rivals in the UCL. The hosts will be keen to continue their dominant form in their upcoming clash.

Inter Milan secures semis spot in Champions League following 5-3 aggregate win over Benfica

April 20, 2023, 3:59 pm

With a 3-3 draw against Benfica on Thursday at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Inter Milan went to their first UEFA Champions League semifinal since 2010, winning the match 5-3 on aggregate thanks to a two-goal advantage from the first leg.

Nicolo Barella’s spectacular strike from inside the box gave Inter the lead in the 13th minute, but a header from Fredrik Aursnes gave Benfica the equaliser in the 38th. The score was tied at 1-1 at the interval, with Inter winning the match overall.

Joaquin Correa and Lautaro Martinez both scored goals for Inter to increase their lead (78th minute). With 12 minutes remaining, Inter was up 3-1, and the situation appeared hopeless for Benfica.

But Benfica made a comeback in the game with two late goals. Defender Antonio Silva (86th minute) and substitute Petar Musa (90+5) were among the goals that equalised the scoreline at 3-3.

But on account of a 2-0 win in the first leg, Inter advanced to the final four. Inter will be facing AC Milan in the semifinals, with either of them set to become the first Italian side to reach the league final in six years. It is Inter’s first semifinal appearance since they clinched their third title back in 2010. Milan reached the semis of Europe’s top club competition on Tuesday after drawing 1-1 at Napoli to win their quarterfinal 2-1 on aggregate.
