THREE PICS AND STORY: Chelsea go on the rampage in Paris 2 April 2014

Hundreds of Chelsea fans went on the rampage in central Paris tonight, smashing up cafes and shops before the Champions League quarter final against Paris Saint-Germain. The worst of the violence was in Rue St Denis, a popular tourist street full of pubs and bars.

 

Upwards of 400 hooligans could be seen making Nazi salutes and chanting racist abuse before they attacked PSG fans. Flares were let off, and the small, packed streets was soon filled with thick black smoke.

 

The fans had been drinking for most of the afternoon outside the Frog and Rosbif pub before they moved across the road to The Thistle. It was there that the fighting started, as some of the fans could be heard chanting English Defence League songs in front of black Parisians.

A group of around 100 fans then ran down the Rue St Denis, towards the Seine river, smashing up anything in their path. Tables and chairs were destroyed outside the McBride’s Irish pub, and windows were smashed. The outside of a clothes shop was also destroyed and bottles were thrown at evening drinkers sitting in cafes.

Chelsea only have around 2000 allocated tickets for tonight’s Champions League quarter final, but many thousands of fans have come to Paris anyway. Earlier in the day there were police intelligence reports that some 300 hardcore Chelsea hooligans had entered France via Belgium to avoid detection.
