Bouches-du-Rhône police chiefs have made it an offence "to wear PSG colours", which includes scarves as well as PSG shirts. The order also bans the use of pyrotechnic devices.
These measures come after a number of hostile incidents in the Old Part area of Marseille on Tuesday night. After PSG defeated RB Leipzig to reach the final, around 100 Marseille fans congregated in the area with aggressive anti-PSG chanting.
According to French news outlet Le Parisien, many eyewitnesses reported that Marseille fans then hunted down PSG fans, or people they suspected of supporting PSG.
One man in a PSG jersey was made to take it off, while a Marseille supporter was arrested for his part in attacking a PSG fan.
After trouble erupted, two venues in the Old Port area were forced to stop screening the PSG-Leipzig match before it had even finished due to pressure from locals.
Police assert that these measures have been taken to "prevent any disturbance to public order", regardless of any pre-arranged football violence.
If PSG come out on top, it will be the first time in the club's history they will have lifted the UEFA Champions League. Bayern are looking to get their hands on the trophy for the first time since 2013, when they defeated compatriots Borussia Dortmund in the final.Explore more on these topics:
