According to reports, a 14-year-old boy was killed in these riots. Earlier, when Morocco defeated Portugal, the team's fans had created a ruckus in France, calling it a victory of Islam and Ummah. At that time, Moroccan supporters had taken to the streets and blocked the streets by shouting slogans, even attacking the police who were trying to control the situation.

In the latest case, a group of Moroccan supporters tried to remove the French flag from the car of a French citizen in France itself. Not only this, but the group of rioters also attacked the car. Terrified by the attack, the driver reversed the car slightly and quickly turned backward, crushing the boy. The injured boy was taken to a hospital, where doctors declared him dead. Moroccan supporters also hurled stones at a flat, along with removing a French flag on the balcony, according to videos that have gone viral on social media. After threatening vandalism, the flat resident had to remove his country's flag even after living in France. According to the report, Muslims living in France did not like the celebration by French citizens and they protested fiercely, resulting in riots. France has deployed about 10,000 security personnel across the country, of which 5,000 have been deployed in Paris alone. Â
