Paris Saint-Germain, one of Europe’s leading clubs, has been punished after winning the Champions League final in Munich. PSG will have to pay a fine of €148,000 imposed by UEFA. This sanction is in response to the seriousness of the incidents that took place during the match, a landmark event for the club.
“🇪🇺 UEFA fines PSG a total of €148,000.
Paris club heavily sanctioned after Champions League final.
✅100.000 € for pitch invasion
✅30.000 € for throwing objects
✅8.000 € for vandalism

The historic penalty handed down to PSG underlines UEFA’s firm stance on excesses during major matches. The €148,000 fine covers a number of offences committed by Paris supporters, including pitch invasion, the use of pyrotechnic devices and significant damage to the Allianz Arena.
More than just a financial penalty, this decision is a reminder of the importance of respecting the sporting environment and the responsibility of clubs in terms of safety. PSG, 5-0 winners over Inter Milan, saw their flawless sporting record marred by the behavior of certain fans. This case also illustrates the evolution of disciplinary requirements in European soccer: from now on, clubs must react firmly to preserve their image and avoid repeat offences, on pain of even harsher sanctions in the future.
