The chief of police in Paris, Laurent Nunez, announced in an interview with the French channel "CNews" on Friday a wide security mobilization in the French capital in anticipation of any possible disturbances, coinciding with the Champions League final that will take place tomorrow, Saturday, between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan in the German city of Munich.
Despite the match being held outside France, French authorities expect Paris Saint-Germain fans to take to the streets to celebrate if their team wins, which could lead to riots similar to those previously witnessed in the capital.
