Two fans died and a police officer is in a coma after celebrations for Paris-Saint Germain's historic Champions League victory, European soccer's biggest prize, authorities say.

Hundreds were detained after soccer fans’ jubilation gave way to violence in parts of the French capital.

Wild celebrations erupted across Paris on Saturday, with thousands of Paris St Germain fans descending on the boutique-lined Champs Elysees boulevard, after their side crushed Italian opponents Inter Milan 5-0 to win the Champions League for the first time.
