Violent clashes tarnished celebrations in the streets of the French capital after Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) defended its Champions League title on May 30, 2026, but videos of people destroying vehicles and launching fireworks circulating in Chinese social media posts are old and unrelated. One of them was filmed during the 2024 protests in Georgia, while others were shot in Paris in 2022 and 2025.
