Paris Saint-Germain's landmark triumph in the Champions League was overshadowed by tragedy as celebrations took a violent turn. Two fans lost their lives, and a police officer was severely injured, casting a pall over what should have been a night of joyous festivities.

French authorities reported the deaths of a 17-year-old in Dax and a man in his 20s in Paris, as well as a police officer who was critically injured by fireworks in Coutances. Despite the overall ambiance of celebration, violence erupted in some areas, prompting police to make extensive arrests.
