Clashes, violence, and looting marred Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League celebrations in France as the team secured their second consecutive title.

The PSG vs Arsenal final match in Budapest went beyond extra time to a penalty shootout, a nail-biting affair that saw the French team cement its place in European football.

However, the party was partially overshadowed by street violence, leaving one person dead and more than 200 injured, the French interior ministry said.

French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the violence as 'unspeakable' and vowed strict action against those responsible for the riots.

Similar violence had erupted during last year's celebrations as well, when PSG won its first Champions League title.

Despite a massive security operation with over 22,000 police personnel deployed across the country, clashes still tainted Paris Saint-Germain's victory.
