PARIS, May 31 (Reuters) – Paris St Germain \u2060forward Ousmane Dembele promised fans gathered at the \u200cfoot of the Eiffel Tower on Sunday that the club would chase a third consecutive Champions League title next season, as \u200bsupporters celebrated the city’s back-to-back European \u2060triumphs.<\/p>\n
“Thanks to all of \u2060you for your support. We’ll be back next year \u2060with the \u200cthird one,” Dembele addressed the crowd as they danced to Daft Punk\u2019s “One More Time”, \u2060while the players showed off the trophy \u200bsecured against Arsenal \u200con Saturday.<\/p>\n
The mood was relaxed after light showers \u2060gave way \u200bto sunshine, in contrast to scenes overnight when post-game violence across the capital left over 200 people injured \u2060and killed one.<\/p>\n
Qatari club president Nasser \u200bAl-Khelaifi urged fans to keep up the positive atmosphere. “Celebrate calmly tonight. Protect our city, that’s very important,” he said.<\/p>\n
PSG \u2060players took to the Champs de Mars, a giant open field beneath the Eiffel Tower, before an official visit to PresidentEmmanuel Macron in the Elysee Palace.<\/p>\n
Fan \u200bMathias Oumraou told Reuters he had \u2060to be at the parade after what he called \u200bthe best night of his \u200clife in Paris. Another supporter, Cheyenne \u200bBarbachou, said she could hardly believe the back-to-back win. “It’s incredible,” she said.<\/p>\n
