English underdogs Aston Villa are set to take on soon-to-be French champions Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final showdown at the Parc des Princes tonight.
Video taken from inside a bar where dozens of fans were drinking overnight shows the moment the brawl unfolded.
Several clashes can be seen with several punches being thrown at first.
Shortly after, one set of fans start to launch their drinks at the oncoming group.
Many of the rushing supporters had their hoods up as they approached the older looking fans who were at the bar to begin with.
It is unclear exactly who was involved in the brawl.
As the fighting continued, a number of bar stools started to be used as weapons.
One fan can be seen carrying it across the pavement with the pointed legs directed at the other supporters.
Then both sides begin to pick up chairs and throw them back and forth.
Dozens of onlookers started to gather around the mass brawl as they watched on from across the road.
The Parisians are seasoned campaigners in European knockout football, having reached at least the quarter-finals in each of the past 13 seasons.
They’ve already wrapped up the Ligue 1 title with an astounding six games to spare and knocked out tournament favourites Liverpool in the last round.
But Villa are in outstanding form and are riding a seven-match winning streak.
They breezed into the quarter finals with an emphatic 6-1 aggregate victory over Club Brugge in the last 16.
The side have also scored 20 goals and kept five clean sheets in their last seven matches and with four-time Europa League winner Unai Emery at the helm their fans are hopeful for an upset.
