Dembélé promises PSG will be chasing a hat-trick in the Champions League after the celebrations in Paris

Paris St Germain striker 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.

«Thank you all for your support. We’ll be back next year with the third,» Dembele addressed the crowd as they danced to Daft Punk’s «One More Time» as 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-match violence in the capital left more than 200 people injured and one dead.

Qatari club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi called on fans to keep up the positive atmosphere. «Celebrate peacefully tonight. Protect our city, that is very important,» he said.

PSG players took to the Champs de Mars, a giant open field under the Eiffel Tower, before paying an official visit to President Emmanuel Macron at 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 unbelievable,” she said.
