In Dax, a 17-year-old minor was stabbed to death during a gathering to celebrate the dedication of the Parisian club, while in the capital, in the 15th arrondissement, a young man in his 20s riding a scooter was hit by a car and succumbed to his injuries.

I didn't read anything new in the article, what part of it did you want to point out?

Edit: I was wrong, see below.

The one I quoted, that the incident of Dax happened "during a gathering to celebrate the dedication of the Parisian club"

I dug into the local newspapers, Sud-Ouest.

But the young man "died during the night from his injuries at Dax hospital," according to the duty magistrate. "It happened during PSG's celebrations, but the link, like whether it was fans, cannot be confirmed at this stage." An investigation is underway and has been entrusted to the Bayonne PJ.

Le Monde

A 17-year-old boy was stabbed to death overnight in Dax, in the Landes region, "during the celebrations" of PSG's European title. The perpetrator is "on the run," Agence France-Presse (AFP) learned from the prosecutor's office. "A 17-year-old minor died during the night from his injuries at Dax hospital," the duty magistrate told AFP, confirming reports from the daily Sud Ouest. "It happened during PSG celebrations, but the connection, like whether they were supporters, cannot be confirmed at this stage," she also added.

If it's not a fan, but the incident happened at a PSG celebration, isn't it still linked to the PSG victory? Saying that it's completely unrelated to the match doesn't seem correct either.

The headline speaks of 2 deaths, one of which is clearly and accident, the second that is mentioned we still don't know what happened.

Before the post was seemingly taken down on r/soccer (again, likely due to the misleading title), the top comment mentioned it's a small French town that mainly focuses on rugby, not football. Implying that it's related to PSG shouldn't be done unless more information comes out.

It's obvious that the news headline tries to paint a picture that's clearly inaccurate and written to agitate.

Okay, actually I reread the article again, turns out I wasn't fully paying attention the first time. Sud Ouest even had a frame paragraph at the end of the article showing that the fact isn't indeed related to the match:

The evidence gathered points to an individual action unrelated to sporting results. Witnesses are being interviewed, technical investigations are being carried out, particularly into the telephone system, and the city's CCTV footage is being analysed.

So you were correct, sorry for the confusion.
