The day was overwhelmingly dominated by the Eurovision 2026 final, with Bulgaria's Dara winning the 70th edition with 'Bangaranga'. France's Monroe finished 11th, dragged down by the public vote. The contest was marked by geopolitical tensions over Israel's participation amid the Gaza war, with boos heard for the Israeli entry. In the early afternoon, coverage shifted to a massive Ukrainian drone attack on Russia, with Moscow hit and at least four dead. Zelensky justified the strikes. Later, Canal+ announced it would cut ties with 600 film industry figures who signed a petition against Vincent Bolloré, a story that gained traction during the Cannes festival. In the evening, Ligue 1's final day determined European qualification and relegation, with Lille securing Champions League, Marseille Europa League, and Nice facing playoffs.
