The buildup to tonight's Champions League showdown between Newcastle United and Paris Saint-Germain has been marred by violence, as clashes between fans were filmed and shared on social media. On Monday evening, tensions reached a boiling point when ultras of the two clubs encountered each other in the French capital.
Footage shared on Twitter showed Newcastle fans blocking doors in an attempt to prevent PSG supporters from storming a bar they were in. In response, the Parisian ultras threw flares and chairs through the windows, resulting in glasses being smashed and windows broken. In response, the Newcastle United Supporters' Club urged their fans to "stay safe in Paris tonight" and "stick together and look after each other".
As a precautionary measure, police had previously called for pubs designated for away fans to close early in order to reduce the risk of further clashes. This decision was made in light of the previous match between the two teams, which Newcastle won 4-1, sparking concerns of further violence from the PSG ultras.
