May 8th, Paris defeated Arsenal 2-1 in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals to advance to the final, but after the game, the celebration of Paris fans was tragic.

According to Le Parisien, the fans' celebration scene suddenly turned into panic. As fans celebrated near the Champs Elysees, a black sedan (motivation is unclear) suddenly accelerated into the crowd, knocking down multiple celebrants.

According to the Paris Police General Administration, at least 3 fans were injured and sent to the hospital: 1 person was in critical condition and 2 people were relatively urgent. Witnesses saw one of the injured being carried off the scene by a firefighter on a stretcher.

Dozens of fans chased the vehicle involved on foot, which had been burned when it was found a few meters away. It is not clear whether the person in the car has been arrested. The celebrations resulted in riots all night, 43 people were arrested by police, police were attacked by moor bottles and mortar shells, tear gas was used to disperse hostile groups, and multiple cars and shops were destroyed. After scoring the first goal of the game, fans without tickets tried to flock to Princes Park Stadium. When the final whistle sounded, some people attempted to attack the ring road near Santa Cruman and were intercepted by riot police. Mortar shell attacks also occurred in the area, but no major accidents were reported.
