🎥 PSG v Arsenal, ultras clash in Budapest, Paris readies armoured glass 😰 | OneFootball

Budapest is getting ready for Gala night. At 6 p.m., in fact, PSG and Arsenal will battle it out for the Champions League in a final that promises plenty of spectacle.

On one side are the defending champions, without a doubt the strongest team in the world, led by the magician Luis Enrique; on the other are the Gunners, fresh off winning the Premier League and therefore riding sky-high morale. 

Not everything that glitters is gold, though. The Parisians and the English, in fact, have two of the most passionate fanbases around, and all too often that leads to scenes that are frankly avoidable.

⚔️ Clashes in Budapest! Meanwhile, Paris gets ready...

During the night, some of the ultra groups (or hooligans, if you prefer) of the two finalists clashed in the streets of the Hungarian capital.

The risks, however, are not limited to Budapest. This morning, in fact, Paris woke up determined to avoid a repeat of what happened a year ago, when after the win against Inter, shops on the Champs-Élysées and in the city center were stormed by PSG fans.

The toll was heavy, with smashed windows, stolen goods, injuries, and widespread chaos.

That explains why, in the French capital today, barriers have been installed to protect the windows of the main shops, with glass that — according to local media — is supposedly even bulletproof.

You can never be too careful, especially when ultras are involved. Unfortunately, this too is part of football.
