PSG’s potentially monumental evening at the Allianz Arena in Munich could ignite not just festivities in Paris, but also lead to turmoil throughout France.
As the Ligue 1 champions gear up for the vital UEFA Champions League final against Inter Milan on May 31, authorities in Marseille are bracing themselves.
Their worry? A triumph for PSG could incite disturbances in their city and beyond.
A source from the Marseille police informed RMC Sport, stating, “If PSG wins, it could trigger some wild reactions. The added threat of opportunistic crime makes for a potentially dangerous night.”
Revised security measures are already established to handle anticipated crowds, no matter the outcome in Munich.
PSG is on the verge of securing their first-ever European championship, and under Luis Enrique’s guidance, they are one victory away from becoming just the second French club to claim the UCL title. Marseille remains the solitary holder of this distinction, having triumphed over AC Milan 1–0 in 1993.
This record, along with the city’s strong attachment to it, is what officials fear could lead to heightened emotions if PSG manages to surpass them.
Even if Inter wins, celebrations might still ensue, with the potential for clashes between jubilant Marseille fans and staunch PSG supporters amid their established rivalry.
The pressure is undeniably intense due to the significant implications. Having already clinched the Ligue 1 and Coupe de France titles, a win in Munich would grant PSG a historic treble—something no other French club has achieved before.
Basile Boli, a celebrated figure from Marseille’s 1993 victory, stated, “My heart belongs to the Blue and White, but supporting PSG is important to me for French representation.”
