PSG crowns the Champions League winner: fans devastate the lawn!

Allianz Arena, 80339 München, Deutschland - In the historic Champions League final on May 31, 2025, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) confidently triumphed 5-0 against Inter Milan. In the Allianz Arena in Munich, which has established itself as the future venue of large games, PSG celebrated its first title win in the club's history. This was a significant moment for the French club and crowned a successful season, which also included the profit of the Ligue 1.

The game became a festival for the PSG supporters who stormed the square after the final whistle to celebrate their success. Unfortunately, this euphoria led to damage to the field because pictures of holes were published in the lawn. Such spaces are not unusual in football, but PSG calls for fans to make future celebrations more respectful, especially after the riots that had previously occurred in Paris. Before the next big event, the semi -finals of the Nations League against Portugal on June 4, the damage must be repaired.

ticket problem and preparations

The way to the final was characterized by challenges, especially with regard to ticket sales. PSG sold all 18,000 tickets available in two sales waves, with the first sale reserved for long -term season ticket holders. According to [Mirror], many fans experienced frustrations for delays in providing access codes. There were only a few tickets available for the second wave, since many were reserved for employees, partners and families of the players.

The UEFA took a strict attitude towards ticket allocation and warned of resale that is not permitted. Violations can be punished with high fines. Despite these requirements, there were complaints from the ranks of the fans who complained about the inadequate access to tickets, which gave the impression that long -standing supporters were neglected.

historical context of the Champions League

The Champions League was introduced by UEFA in the 1992/93 season and has since revolutionized European football. In a book by football journalist Christoph Biermann, the development of the competition is highlighted. The introduction and reforms of the Champions League not only ensured high voltage in sports, but also for an unequal distribution of funds that promote the top clubs in particular.

Biermann criticizes that the current structures in football offer little space for changes and suggests integration of the big clubs into a super league to redesign the competition. The ongoing discussion about financial and structural justice in the Champions League remains a central topic among fans and experts.
