Newcastle, PSG Fans Clash Ahead of Champions League Match (Video)

Newcastle and PSG supporters clashed in Paris, sparking chaos ahead of their anticipated Champions League clash.

The Magpies travelled to the French capital for their European fixture after their triumphant 4-1 win over the Ligue 1 champions at St James’ Park.

Trouble flared on Monday evening when Newcastle fans were met with hostility from PSG Ultra groups, which was evident in videos circulating on social media. These clips depicted disturbing scenes of flares and chairs being hurled, leading to shattered glasses and windows in local bars and restaurants where fans had gathered for pre-match drinks.

Social media posts further indicated a tense situation, with a video showing hooded figures tagged with the foreboding message “PSG ultras looking for the Toon” prowling the Parisian streets. In response to the escalating tension, local authorities had advised designated pubs for away fans to close early to mitigate potential risks.

This isn’t the first instance of Newcastle fans facing hostility from rival supporters during their European travels this season. On Matchday One in Milan, a Magpies supporter was stabbed, highlighting the concerning trend of targeted aggression.

As Eddie Howe’s squad strives to secure a spot in the last-16, having garnered four points from four games in Group F, they face both on-field challenges and the need for heightened vigilance amid such hostile encounters.
