During civil unrest in Paris this past Saturday, a sports museum was looted, resulting in the theft of two historical items belonging to Lionel Messi: a signed FC Barcelona jersey and a captain's armband worn during a Champions League match. The incident occurred amidst broader protests against the rising cost of living in the French capital.

French President Emmanuel Macron addressed the weekend's events on Sunday, attributing the violence, looting, and property damage to criminal elements and far-left groups. The government has characterized the disturbances as a significant disruption to public order.
