The atmosphere has been building across Paris throughout the day and fans began to gather near the Parc des Princes with two hours until kick-off.
But there has been clashes with riot cops and videos have surfaced of police pushing PSG supporters with shields and firing tear gas.
Chaotic scenes show fans running from the cops and covering their mouths with scarfs.
A French reporter claimed “entire streets were tear-gassed by police” after fireworks were let off.
It comes after Arsenal fans were warned to be “vigilant” in Paris amid fears of clashes with PSG’s notorious ultras.
The 2,000 travelling Gunners were all given a free red and white scarf when collecting their tickets in the French captial.
Though there have been concerns that wearing the scarfs around the city could prove dangerous and put a “target on their back”.
Arsenal fans were advised by the club to “take sensible precautions” in Paris and not visit the Auteuil suburb where the ultras meet.
