PSG Victory in the Champions League: The Detailed Celebration Schedule

Following their historic 5-0 Champions League victory over Inter Milan on Saturday, May 31, PSG's heroes are expected in the capital on Sunday afternoon to be carried in triumph by their supporters. In Munich, they made history for Paris Saint-Germain.
After a very short night, the players are due to take off in the early afternoon for Paris, where they will land at Roissy Airport around 3:30 p.m. They will then be escorted to the Champs-Élysées, where more than 100,000 fans are expected. Starting at 5 p.m., Luis Enrique's players and staff will parade in a double-decker bus, holding the "big-eared cup," for about an hour along the famous avenue, which is closed to traffic.
In a message published on X, the Paris Police Prefecture informed that "access to the parade will be from the south side of the Avenue des Champs-Elysées" , specifying that a gauge "is set at 110,000 people" . For security reasons, "access will be closed when the gauge is full" , warns the Prefecture, which adds that the opening of access to the parade will be from 2:30 p.m. and asks supporters to anticipate their arrival as much as possible.
"Only people going to the parade will be able to access the Champs-Élysées area, so we will completely seal off this area. There will be searches and systematic pat-downs at the entrance," said Paris police chief Laurent Nuñez, describing the measures as "very, very high level" and "perfectly adapted."
The players will then be received by the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, at the Élysée Palace. They will then go to the Parc des Princes for an "unforgettable celebration" with concerts, the club assures. "Everyone deserves to savor this title. The people in Paris and at the Parc, all over the world," declared Marquinhos, the only player, along with Presnel Kimpembe (who did not come on Saturday), to have experienced defeat in the final in 2020.
A performance praised by the pressOn Sunday morning, the European press hailed the unprecedented triumph of PSG's "youth" : "In a performance that could be exhibited in the Louvre, Désiré Doué went on a teenage rampage in the heart of an aging Inter Milan defense," commented the English newspaper The Sun. The young Frenchman dazzled the final with his technical ease, his calm, a double and an assist, something that had never been achieved before in a final.
Having contributed three goals, including two assists, Ousmane Dembélé may have also moved closer to the Ballon d'Or, even if not scoring could cost him votes. He has the vote of his coach Luis Enrique, who proclaimed it loud and clear on Saturday.
Precisely, for Marquinhos, the simple explanation for this resounding success "is called Luis Enrique" : "Even when people didn't believe in it, he believed on his own, with us, and he was proud, and today we see the result . " "He sees the mentality, the balance of the team, he sees things, he has the experience," he added to the press.
After hours of celebration, a few days of rest will follow. But they will soon have to get back into the competitive atmosphere as they will be playing in the Club World Cup (June 14-July 13) in the United States. Then, on August 13, they will face Tottenham, who won the Europa League, in the Super Cup final.
