Aston Villa supporters involved in the shocking video of fans brawling in Paris on Tuesday night were deliberately targeted and attacked by a group of violent French thugs, a report has claimed.
Villa take on Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes for the first leg of their huge Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday — but the game's build-up has already been marred by distressing scenes of fans scrapping outside a bar in the French capital.
In footage shared by Footy Away Days on X, punches and chairs were thrown in the streets between the two sets of supporters, with the fan behind the camera muttering, 'F***ing hell', as the chaos was unfolding.
