Thousands of PSG fans flooded onto the field after the whistle to celebrate the club’s first European Cup triumph, with a large number of supporters from behind the goal spilling onto the pitch, overwhelming stewards who struggled to keep control.
In total, PSG was fined 148,000 euros (USD 169,208.40), with the biggest penalty for the pitch invasion and use of pyrotechnics.
UEFA’s Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body also issued a ban on PSG’s away ticket sales for one UEFA match, suspended for two years.
