On October 19, news broke that the Louvre—one of the world's largest museums—had been robbed. The total value of the stolen jewels is estimated at €88 million, and they have yet to be recovered.

The Paris prosecutor reported that over a hundred investigators are now involved in the case, with the investigation covering "everything from remote planning to the direct actions of the team on site."

Earlier, police had already detained two men linked to the robbery. They have been placed in temporary custody pending trial.

The Paris vs Lyon match itself ended in a thrilling 3-3 draw, with both teams finishing the game with 10 men after each received a red card in the second half.
