Despite some regrettable incidents on Saturday evening, which culminated in 491 arrests in Paris and at least one tragic death amidst the festivities, Paris Saint-Germain's planned parade to celebrate their Champions League triumph will proceed down the Champs Elysees on Sunday with a limit of 100,000 fans.
The club achieved an impressive 5-0 win against Inter Milan in Munich that will long be remembered. Paris Police chief Laurent Nunez disclosed, during Sunday's press briefing, the unfortunate tallies of the night's events – 192 civilians were injured and there were also light injuries among nine police officers. Moreover, authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a 24-year-old man involved in a vehicular collision.

"We are not sure yet whether it is linked to celebrations last night, but an investigation is open," Nunez said. "This is just half time for us because the PSG players are coming to Paris. We have important work this afternoon.
"We have a cap on the amount of people that can come in. There are 100,000 people that can come in. After that, we can't bring any more people in.
"There will be a celebration around the Parc des Princes as well and the players will be at the Parc des Princes to meet their fans.
"There again we are expecting some clashes, some scuffles and we will be there and we will be very strong in our response against the vandals, against the thieves who have a go at the police officers.
"We will not tolerate any abuse today and the fans who want to enjoy the parade, can do so safely."

The French interior ministry has disclosed that a staggering 559 arrests were made across France amidst the revelry following Paris Saint Germain's triumph, while a tragic incident saw a 17 year old lose their life to a stabbing in Dax.
"The true PSG supporters are getting excited watching their team's magnificent match. Meanwhile, barbarians have taken to the streets of Paris to commit crimes and provoke law enforcement," penned French interior minister Bruno Retailleau on X.
"I have asked the internal security forces to respond with vigor to these offences.
"I offer my support to the Police Prefect and all the police officers who are ensuring everyone's safety. It is unacceptable that it is not possible to celebrate without fearing the savagery of a minority of thugs who respect nothing."
