A HUGE brawl between Newcastle and PSG fans erupted in Paris last night less than 24 hours before their crucial Champions League clash.
Newcastle fans claimed PSG ultras stormed into a restaurant and threw chairs, smashed glasses and let off flares in front of terrified families and kids.
Footage on X, formerly known as Twitter, shows a group of people – thought to be Newcastle fans – stuck inside a pub as chairs and drinks are thrown at the restaurant’s front entrance by both groups.
Bright red flares just outside the front doors can also be seen plaguing the area making it hard to see through the smoke.
According to @GeordieJord who posted the video, the Newcastle fans in the 30 second clip were sat outside a bar having a drink moments before the video started.
It’s also believed there were children, women and families having a drink at the same place when the situation badly escalated.
