Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has had a dream season, clinching a domestic treble and securing their first-ever UEFA Champions League title under coach Luis Enrique. However, the French giants have now been slapped with a €150,000 fine—equivalent to approximately BDT 21 million—for their fans' unruly behavior during celebrations.
On May 31, PSG thrashed Inter Milan 5-0 in the Champions League final at Bayern Munich Stadium. The post-match celebrations by PSG supporters caught the attention of UEFA’s Disciplinary Panel, which brought six charges against the club. These included displaying messages “not fitting for a sporting event” and “disrespecting UEFA.” Fans were also seen tearing up parts of the turf and displaying a “UEFA Mafia” banner.
Following the victory, PSG supporters stormed the pitch, setting off fireworks, throwing objects, damaging property, and displaying inappropriate messages. Security personnel struggled to control the chaotic scenes behind the goalposts. The heaviest penalties were imposed for fans entering the pitch and using pyrotechnics, resulting in a combined €100,000 fine. An additional €8,000 was fined for turf damage, and €10,000 for offensive messages. UEFA also imposed a ban on PSG selling away tickets for one match, though this penalty has been suspended for two years.

While the fine may seem minor compared to PSG’s historic success, the incident highlights the need for better fan behavior control, especially on major international stages. PSG earned €140 million from UEFA for their Champions League triumph, including $27.8 million (approximately BDT 3.39 billion) for becoming champions, alongside additional earnings from match wins throughout the tournament.
