According to reports, French authorities confirmed that two fans died after the match, while a police officer has been left in a coma after PSG defeated Inter Milan in the UCL final.

Riots erupted in the streets of Paris after the PSG win, who had never captured the top European club competition honors in the club's long history.

Their 5-0 victory was the largest margin of victory by a team in the history of the competition, and PSG ended up scoring the most goals since Portuguese side Benfica scored five back in 1962.
