Aston Villa and PSG fans clash in wild Paris brawl ahead of huge Champions League quarter-final

Villa are preparing for their biggest game in a generation, when they take on PSG in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. As a result, thousands of fans have descended on Paris ahead of their clash, but footage posted on social media has shown Villa fans engaged in a huge brawl with PSG supporters in the city centre.

In the video, footage shows both sets of fans throwing chairs and glasses, while punches are exchanged. One group appear to be slightly younger, with their hoods up, and the melee lasts for just over a minute.

Warning: The video contains images some viewers may find upsetting.

Villa and PSG meet on Wednesday evening. Officials will hope there is no trouble at the Parc des Princes.
