PSG forward Ousmane Dembele promised fans gathered at the foot ‌of the Eiffel Tower on Sunday that the ‌club would chase a third ‌consecutive Champions League title next season, as ‌supporters celebrated the city's back-to-back European ‌triumphs.

"Thanks to all of you for your support. We'll be back next year ‌with the third one," Dembele ⁠addressed the ‌crowd as they danced to Daft Punk’s "One ​More Time", while the players showed off the trophy secured ​against Arsenal on Saturday.

The mood was relaxed after light showers gave way ⁠to sunshine, ​in contrast to scenes overnight when post-game violence across the capital left over 200 people injured and killed one.

Qatari ‌club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi urged fans to keep up the positive atmosphere. "Celebrate calmly tonight. Protect our city, that's very important," he said.

PSG players took to the Champs de Mars, a giant open field beneath the Eiffel Tower, before an official visit ‌to President Emmanuel Macron in the Elysee ​Palace.

Fan Mathias Oumraou told Reuters he ‌had to be at the parade after what he called the best night of his life in Paris. Another supporter, Cheyenne Barbachou, said ⁠she could ⁠hardly believe the ‌back-to-back win. "It's incredible," she said.
