PSG ultras ambush Newcastle followers as pints, tables and chairs launched in clashes

Newcastle followers have been ambushed by PSG ultras forward of tonight’s Champions League conflict in Paris.

Shocking footage has emerged on social media of PSG followers attacking a bar the place Magpies supporters had gathered forward of the Group F conflict. The clips exhibits drinks, chairs, tables, and even what seems to be to be a flare being thrown.

Newcastle followers could be seen attempting to defend themselves from the mob. Shortly earlier than the assault, a bunch of round 35 males wearing black have been noticed striding down a Paris road.

A Newcastle supporter referred to as Jordan, who posted one of many movies, wrote: “Very welcoming place Paris. For absolute context, we were sat outside having a pint, families, kids etc.”

Around 1,200 away followers have been attending ticketed occasions at Corcorans, an Irish pub, and Seguin Sound, a restaurant, by the river Seine. Corcorans closed at 10pm following police recommendation. The Newcastle United Supporters’ Club tweeted: “Stay safe in Paris tonight. Stick together and look after each other.”

There had been considerations about violence within the French capital following remoted incidents on the reverse fixture at St James’ Park, which Newcastle gained 4-1. Since then, the Magpies have misplaced twice to Borussia Dortmund and should realistically beat PSG to maintain their hopes of advancing to the knockout stage alive.
