Chelsea hooligans go on the rampage in central Paris

Central Paris erupts in violence as hundreds of Chelsea fans smash up cafes and shops ahead of the Champions League quarter final

Hundreds of Chelsea football fans went on the rampage in central Paris on Wednesday, 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.

Some 400 thugs could be seen making 'Seig Heil' salutes and chanting racist abuse before they started attacking PSG fans.

"We’re trying to contain the violence but it’s spreading,’ said one officer on the scene, as riot units arrived on mass.

Flares were let off, and the small, packed streets was soon filled with thick black smoke.



‘It’s terrifying – I just want to get out of here," said Sarah Avel, a 16-year-old French student. "We could hear the chanting all afternoon but we didn’t expect fighting."

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 put in. The outside of a clothes shop was also destroyed, while 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.

if any of them got stabbed outside the stadium, the media would blame the PSG fans. Happened before...
 
Bale with one of those runs in 83rd minute. Great sight.

And Morata runs like Ronaldo, which is a bit weird.
 
One thing I don't think gets mentionned often enough if Real's defensive shape. The midfield three collapse quickly back and move across to whatever side the ball is on with Bale or Ronaldo filling in on the opposite side. Not only that but the pressure they apply after losing the ball makes it so hard for teams to pass it out of their own half.

PS: I think we miss Modric more than Bale. Without him in that midfield Real wouldn't be anywhere near as effective. He and Alonso are like a match made in heaven.
