Police make 43 arrests as violence breaks out after PSG's Champions League win over Arsenal and car driven into supporters

At least 43 arrests were made by French police and three people were injured by a car as partying took the streets in the aftermath of Paris Saint-Germain's victory over Arsenal which booked their place in the Champions League final.

Supporters took to the streets to celebrate PSG's triumph which set up a final against Inter at the end of May. However, one person was left in critical condition and two more hospitalised when they were hit by a car near the Champs Elysee, with police saying the circumstances are being investigated.

Paris police chief Laurent Nunez said: "The atmosphere began in a festive manner. And then, as usual, we had small groups of people with very bad intentions who attacked law enforcement and then attempted to cause damage."

PSG's victory over Arsenal on Wednesday ensured they reached just their second ever Champions League final and eliminated their third English team in a row from the competition, having previously dispatched of Liverpool and Aston Villa in the earlier rounds.

While the Champions League final takes place on May 31, PSG still have a couple of Ligue 1 games to participate in as well as the Coupe de France showpiece against Reims before they travel to Munich.
