A man has been arrested after he threatened to blow up Paris Saint-Germain's Parc des Princes stadium an hour before their latest match.
The French giants claimed a comfortable 4-0 win over rivals Olympique Marseille on Sunday, with goals by Achraf Hakimi, Randal Kolo Muani, and a brace by Goncalo Ramos helping the team rise to third on the Ligue 1 table.

While the victory certainly lifted spirits around the club, it now appears that things could have turned out very differently on the day as it has emerged that a man had threatened to bomb the stadium about an hour before kick-off.
According to RMC Sport, the individual in question was arrested by police after he called authorities to make the threats.
The man was noted as a national security threat and the search for him lasted two hours before he was found near a metro station in Paris without any dangerous weapons on him.
Police sources state that the man had also attacked a tourist at a Parisian cafe near the stadium.
With the suspect now in police custody, he is said to be undergoing psychiatric evaluation in a hospital before authorities will look into his background and the reasons for his actions.
It is further reported that he also claimed to be an intelligence service agent.
Meanwhile, the club were dealt a blow on the pitch as talisman Kylian Mbappe limped off the field during the match.
Manager Luis Enrique has maintained calm after the incident, though, believing that it should only be a minor injury.
"I don't know exactly what happened but I think it was a knock. He tried to change the strapping on it and continue but the pain wouldn't go away," the Spaniard said after the game, per AFP.
"I don't think it is anything serious and I suppose he will be back soon, but it is better not to take risks when a player is not 100%."
