Paris Saint-Germain have condemned the violence that erupted during their Ligue 1 title celebrations in Paris on Monday evening.

A section of the 10,000 PSG fans clashed with police, leaving several fans in hospital and leading to damage around the Trocadero, the Champs-Elysees and at the Eiffel Tower.

"Today (Monday) should have been a day of celebration for the city of Paris, for the club, our supporters and partners," reads a statement on PSG's official website. "The party spoiled by a few hundred troublemakers who have nothing to do with football and even less with the those that fill the Parc des Princes on match days with such passion and enthusiasm and in total security.

"All the members of the club, the players and the directors, express to all those loyal and passionate fans their heartfelt regret that today's trophy presentation ceremony had to be cut short.

"The celebrations will continue this Saturday at the Parc des Princes for the Ligue 1 match against Brest, when the club and its supporters will unite in the joy of Paris Saint-Germain's first league title in 19 years. Paris Saint-Germain is more determined than ever to build a huge European club, worthy of the French capital, and far removed from those intent on trying to destroy that dream."

PSG's title championship in 2013 was their first since 1994.
