PSG and Galatasaray ultra fans spent several hours clashing in Paris, with one PSG fan left beaten and stripped before being discovered by local police.
All standard police precautions were taken in advance of the evening game, with incidents expected by local authorities around PSG's group stage match with Galatasaray in this season's Champions League.
The police number had already been greatly strengthened to accommodate Turkish fans in the capital, as close to 1,500 of them were expected at the Parc des Princes. Yet, clashes still took place, mainly near the stadium. Around 100 Galatasaray supporters gathered at the Saint-Cloud roundabout at 18:00 local time, coming face to face with PSG supporters.
AFP journalists on site gave the following recounting of events: "They (Galatasaray fans) were evacuated by the police in great confusion. The police used tear gas, causing Turkish supporters to retreat to the adjacent avenues. At around 17:00 (local time), fifty men, hooded and fully dressed in black, walked quickly to the Saint-Cloud gate. Calm was restored at around 19:00 by the roundabout adjacent to the Saint-Cloud gate where police were deployed en masse and where no group of supporters was visible."
A video emerged later in the evening showing a naked PSG fan who had been attacked and forced to strip by Galatasaray fans after reportedly burning a Turkish flag.
