Dembele vows PSG will chase UCL hat-trick

Paris Saint Germain forward 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.

"Thanks to all of you for ​your support. We'll be back next year ⁠with the third one," Dembele addressed the crowd ​as they danced to Daft Punk’s "One More Time", ​while 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-game violence across the capital left over 200 people injured ‌and ⁠killed one.

Qatari club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi urged fans to keep up the positive atmosphere. "Celebrate calmly tonight. Protect our city, that's very important," he said.

PSG players ​took to ​the Champs ⁠de Mars, a giant open field beneath the Eiffel Tower, before an official ​visit to President Emmanuel Macron in ​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 incredible," she said.
