Villa play PSG in the Champions League Quarter Final first leg tonight (April 10) - thousands of fans from the West Midlands are in the French capital.

The brawl broke out last night (April 8) outside a busy bar, with punches thrown and chairs and glasses thrown in the melee.

The footage was posted on the Casual Ultra Official Twitter account, gaining more than 484,000 views, ahead of tonight's 8pm kick off.
