PSG ultras were seen marching in their numbers while chanting before the fixture in which Eddie Howe's side ran out 4-1 winners. In one clip shared to social media, a fan of the Ligue 1 outfit approaches a member of the public.
Without saying a word, the fan throws a right-handed punch towards the face of the target before slipping back into the group. The clip was posted after Keith Downie of Sky Sports detailed some of the pre-match clashes.
