PSG/Arsenal – Details of the plans for possible celebrations

This Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain will play in the 2025-2026 Champions League final against Arsenal at the Puskas Arena in Budapest (kick-off at 6 p.m., broadcast on Canal+ and M6). In the event of a victory, the Parisians do indeed plan to celebrate, whether first with supporters in an improvised way or later with PSG in an official trophy presentation. Laurent Nuñez, Interior Minister, gave details to Brut, relayed by Le Parisien, about the measures being put in place. The Champs-Élysées will not be closed to pedestrians, even if access has been heavily restricted.

“we expect there to be a lot of people in the capital, on the Champs-Élysées, around the Parc des Princes as well.”

“On May 30, the capital will be overcrowded. Between Roland-Garros and three major concerts scheduled in the Paris region, the Interior Ministry has planned ‘a very significant operation, with police officers and gendarmes,’ the minister explained. ‘A major security operation that will mobilize 22,000 people across the country, including 8,000 in the Paris metropolitan area.’ A setup primarily aimed at ‘supervising’ people in public spaces. And in the event of a Parisian success, will it be possible to celebrate on the Champs-Élysées? ‘Yes, of course,’ the Interior Minister reassured. ‘And in other places in the capital as well. In the event of a PSG victory, which is what we hope for, we expect there to be a lot of people in the capital, on the Champs-Élysées, around the Parc des Princes too.’”

“The trophy presentation will take place in the capital.”

However, the Champs will not be used the following day for a possible parade with the trophy. Will the trophy be presented at the Champ-de-Mars? Laurent Nuñez did not confirm. “There are several possibilities,” Nuñez explained. “The trophy presentation will take place in the capital. PSG and the police prefecture are working on that option.”

There should indeed be celebrations if PSG win, and it makes sense to enjoy such an achievement. Winning the Champions League is far from routine; you never know when you’ll play the next final. The key is to find the right balance in order to avoid excesses and various incidents. Many people simply know how to enjoy the moment, but unfortunately it only takes a few people losing control for real problems to arise.

Law enforcement is therefore preparing, with limits already set. Let’s hope the focus can remain on the celebration above all, with the trophy presentation then expected to take place under good conditions.

Of course, we should not forget that PSG first have to win. Nothing is settled yet.
