Two fans died and a police officer is in a coma after celebrations for Paris-Saint Germain's historic Champions League victory, European soccer's biggest prize, authorities say.

Tens of thousands of people welcomed the players on the Champs-Elysées and then at the club's stadium to celebrate with them upon their return from Munich.

Two fans died and a police officer is in a coma after mass nationwide celebrations for Paris Saint-Germain’s historic Champions League victory, French authorities said Sunday (June 1). The fatalities marred what started as a night of exuberance after PSG clinched European club soccer’s biggest prize -- its first Champions League title -- in a 5-0 rout of Italian powerhouse Inter Milan.
