Incredible scene from France.
In the second leg of the promotion relegation, second division club AJ Auxerre defeated France’s record champions AS Saint-Etienne (10 titles, the same with Paris St. Germain) on penalties.
Then the AS fans go crazy. Rockets, firecrackers, smoke bombs, pyros – the full program. Lots of rockets are fired towards the stands or in the direction of the players’ tunnel.

In terms of sport, it should be mentioned that Auxerre, a real cult club, is returning to Ligue 1 after ten years. Saint-Etienne is relegated after 18 years.
︎ The French police also used tear gas against fans who tried to storm into the stadium yesterday at the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Liverpool FC. This affected many bystanders and also children.
