Around 3,000 Paris Saint-Germain fans made the trip to London this week for Tuesday’s Champions League match against Arsenal, including many of the French club’s ultras.

Hundreds of ultras, mostly dressed in black, were seen marching through Highbury Fields just hours before the match.

New footage has since gone viral on TikTok and shows some of them also popping up outside a local 3G pitch, completely changing the atmosphere.

The group lit flares and sent out PSG chants behind one of the goals on a small field. One of the PSG fans led the chant with a megaphone, while another man sat on top of a tall metal fence.

Some players hugged the ultras and were seen laughing and singing along, while others just looked shocked.
