Aston Villa and PSG fans clash ahead of Champions League tie as chairs and punches are thrown on Paris streets

Shocking footage of Aston Villa and Paris Saint-Germain fans clashing in the French capital has emerged ahead of the clubs' Champions League tie.

Punches and chairs were thrown between the supporters on the streets of Paris.

It comes just 24 hours before Villa's biggest game in years with the Midlands club having not reached this stage of Europe's elite competition since the 1982-83 campaign.

Villa have been expecting a fiery reception from the Parc des Princes crowd for Wednesday's match with midfielder Youri Tielemans backing his goalkeeper Emi Martinez to handle the abuse of the home crowd.
