Two people are dead and hundreds have been arrested in France following celebrations of Paris Saint-Germain’s (PSG) 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in the final of the Champions League on Saturday night (local time). 

Nearly two dozen police officers have been injured, including one who is in an induced coma after being hit by a firework. 

The football final was played in Munich, but nearly 50,000 fans gathered near Parc des Princes, PSG’s home stadium, to watch the match on big screens. 

Chaos ensued in the celebrations following the match, as fans clashed with police. Around the country, 559 people were arrested and 192 were injured. 

Two people are confirmed dead: a 17-year-old boy who was fatally stabbed in the town of Dax, and a 23-year-old man who was hit by a car while riding a scooter.  

In a statement on social media, the club said: “These isolated acts are contrary to the club’s values and in no way represent the vast majority of our supporters, whose exemplary behaviour throughout the season deserves to be commended.”

French President Emmanuel Macron said authorities would “pursue” and “punish” those responsible.

Football Australia has announced Joe Montemurro will be the next coach of the Matildas. 

It marks the conclusion of a lengthy search for a full-time head coach, following the departure of Tony Gustavsson after the Paris Olympics. 

Montemurro, who comes to the Matildas from top-flight French women’s team Lyon, will begin as coach on 16 June.

Montemurro is an Australian who has spent the past decade coaching at the highest level of European women’s football. 

His most recent role was at French club Lyon, where he coached the side to a national title two weeks ago.  

At Lyon, he coached Matildas player Ellie Carpenter. 

Montemurro has also coached and won titles with Melbourne City, Arsenal, and Juventus’ women’s sides.

Montemurro said: “There’s a generation of talent coming through and major tournaments on the horizon. My job is to honour the legacy, harness the momentum, and help this team play football that inspires and unites the country.”

Football Australia Interim CEO, Heather Garriock, said: “Joe brings world-class experience, a deep understanding of the Australian football landscape, and a genuine connection to our national identity.”

The Matildas will be in action tonight against Argentina in the second of two friendlies. On Friday, the Matildas won the opening match 2-0. Kick-off is scheduled for 7:30pm in Canberra.
