Authorities reserved space for about 80,000 football fans at the Eiffel
Tower in Paris for Sunday night's Euro 2016 final clash between hosts
France and Portugal (who went on the lift the trophy).
However, just before the main clash started, a clash broke out between
Police and some fans who were ejected from the location due to the
teeming number of people who turned out in excesses.
Some of the violent fans set up fires around the area and pelted Police
with water cans. In response, French policemen threw canons of tear gas
and pelted water on the violent fans. About 50 people were also arrested
in connection to the incident.
After the final whistle of the France vs Portugal game, another civil
unrest was witnessed around Champs Elysee, as crowds of hooligans
reportedly made up of French fans threw bottles and other missiles at
Police in anger for losing the final to Portugal.
