David Hytner was in Munich, and here’s his report. Congratulations to Paris Saint-Germain, who have won the Champions League, Ligue 1 and the French Cup; commiserations to Internazionale, who have missed out on Serie A and the Champions League in the space of a week; and thanks to you for reading this MBM.
Paris: en fête. Back home, 48,000 fans had been watching on giant screens at the Parc des Princes. The Champs Elysees is now heaving with joyous supporters setting off fireworks, folks hanging out of cars waving scarves, the lot. The Eiffel Tower has been lit up in the blue and red 0f PSG. According to Reuters, some tear gas and pepper spray has been deployed to maintain order, with one car set alight and several dozen people arrested. Emmanuel Macron, who supports Marseille, put out the following on social media: “A glorious day for PSG! Bravo, we are all proud. Paris, the capital of Europe this evening.” The president will greet the players at the Elysee Palace tomorrow, with the team expected to parade down the Champs Elysees.
