PSG Celebrates Historic UEFA Champions League Double with Grand Paris Festivities

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) returned to the French capital on May 31, 2026, following their thrilling 4-3 penalty shootout victory over Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League final, securing their second consecutive European title. The team landed at Charles de Gaulle airport at 16:26 after a delayed flight from Budapest, receiving warm applause from airport staff as captain Marquinhos and president Nasser Al-Khelaifi carried the coveted trophy.

The celebrations in Paris were eagerly awaited, with nearly 100,000 fans gathering at Champ-de-Mars to welcome the champions. Although the team's arrival was delayed, the players paraded through the historic site, greeted by cheers, flares, and a striking red, white, and blue carpet. Star winger Ousmane Dembélé expressed his gratitude, promising fans they would return for a third consecutive title.

PSG president Al-Khelaifi urged supporters to keep the celebrations peaceful, referencing the previous night's unrest which resulted in 219 injuries and several arrests. President Emmanuel Macron later hosted the team at the Élysée Palace, praising the players' achievements and condemning the violence that overshadowed parts of the festivities.

The day culminated in a vibrant celebration at Parc des Princes, attended by around 48,000 spectators and featuring performances by various artists. PSG's victory cements its status among elite clubs such as Real Madrid and Ajax, who have also achieved consecutive Champions League wins.

Coach Luis Enrique remarked on the significance of their hard-fought win against Arsenal and the importance of sharing the moment with their passionate supporters. The celebrations underscored PSG’s dominant presence on the European stage and their deep connection with fans in Paris and beyond.
