Imagine if they’d lost
I was at Roland Garros yesterday and we left at 1830 and if you know Paris you know RG is a stones throw from PDP. The whole area around Porte Artuiil was a seething mass of PSG and fires and mayhem was well underway, so,they were going to kick off win lose or draw.

We got back to centre of Paris (Gare St Lazarre) and it was the same there. Bars and restaurants were closing, very edgy everywhere. It was already going batshit when game was on, but this was really about looting not some over enthusiastic celebration.

I was in Paris the day France won WC in 2018 on way back from St Gallen friendly and yesterday was a carbon copy. I watched final at Place De Clichy and there was a never ending flow of Herberts heading down to Faubourg and Champs Eleysee. The snail eaters I was with that day all knew the drill and after game the bars shut up shop, as the atmosphere was not singularly jubilant.

It’s probably not politically correct to blame one group of people but the French media and locals here know what the problem is, as the narrative is the poverty in the bannilues. If this was happening in the UK we would have politicians on one knee.
