Fresh from their Champions League final win in Budapest, Paris Saint-Germain players paraded their trophy on the Champs-de-Mars in front of the Eiffel Tower on Sunday, ahead of a presidential reception at the Élysée Palace and a party at their Parc des Princes stadium. But security was tight after overnight celebrations were marred by violence, a deadly road accident and hundreds of arrests.
