On Wednesday evening, with a 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena against Bayern Munich (5-6 on aggregate) in the second leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League semi-final, Paris Saint-Germain secured their place in the final on May 30 in Budapest against Arsenal (kick-off at 6 pm, broadcast on Canal+ and M6). The question of a broadcast in Paris, in a fan zone, has already arisen. Le Parisien reported on Sunday that the police prefecture is opposed to it. This was also announced by AFP.
The Paris police prefecture is in discussions with all parties regarding the various planned events to ensure that residents of the greater Paris area can enjoy the festivities safely,” the prefecture told AFP, adding that “its role is to ensure the safety of those who wish to celebrate, but also to ensure that those who might want to take advantage of the celebrations to commit offenses cannot disturb the peace.” “At this stage of the discussions, the police prefecture is opposed to the establishment of a fan zone in Paris on May 30,” it emphasized to AFP.
Unfortunately, this is not a surprising outcome, especially after the disturbances that occurred around the qualification a few days ago. It’s difficult to trust such an event, not to mention the risk of a potential attack. This is all the more complicated with several concerts and events organized on the same day.
We can still hope that PSG can organize a broadcast at the Parc des Princes, a successful event last season.
