A total of 219 people have been injured in clashes between football fans and police across France following the victory of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the Champions League final against Arsenal.
Eight were in a serious condition, Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said. Thousands of officers had been deployed to curb unrest that disrupted bus, train and rail services in the capital Paris. Fifty-seven of them were injured.
Nuñez said 780 people had been arrested over the violence - with more than 450 in custody. One person was found dead after an accident on Paris's ring road, which rioters tried to block overnight.
Some 6,000 police have been mobilised for Sunday's victory parade at the site of the iconic Eiffel Tower.

The interior minister said the security forces would be "firm" in their response.
"We are a great country for maintaining public order. We allow freedom of assembly, but not excesses," he said.
"The vast majority go out to celebrate and it goes very well. But other individuals, who are not PSG supporters, who don't even watch the match, come to cause trouble and disturbances. We are here to prevent them from doing so. Our response is very firm."
