Paris Saint-Germain fans were spotted fighting in the stands during the Champions League final against Arsenal.
Thousands of Parisians made the trip to Budapest for the showpiece, but stewards had to intervene during the first-half.

The cause of the fighting is not clear, but security made their way into the stands to separate supporters at the Puskas Arena.
There were also scenes of unrest in Paris near PSG’s home stadium, the Parc des Princes, which is where the match is being broadcast.
Police appeared to fire tear gas as hundreds of reportedly ticketless fans attempted to enter the area.
Another video posted on social media shows bottles being thrown at police as they seemingly arrested a fan.
According to French outlet Le Figaro, police made ten arrests on the streets of Paris during the afternoon.
“There were just under 1,600 checks and about ten arrests,” said the Minister of the Interior of France, Laurent Nunez.
“There was a brief moment of tension a few minutes ago, with an attempt to force entry into the Parc des Princes stadium… law enforcement had to intervene.”
A group of ‘hooded individuals’ with balaclavas and iron bars are also said to have been spotted by police.
However, they are claimed to not have committed any violence.
The clashes in the stadium and Paris come after PSG and Arsenal fans brawled on the streets of Budapest ahead of the final.

Arsenal took the lead against PSG inside the opening six minutes as Kai Havertz thumped in a strike on the break.
However, PSG equalised midway through the second half thanks to a penalty from Ousmane Dembele to take it to extra time.
The French giants then won their second consecutive Champions League title on penalties.
Gabriel had to score Arsenal’s fifth spot-kick but skied his effort over the bar.
Arsenal are now winless in two Champions League finals, with their latest appearance coming 20 years after their last.
They remain as the team with most matches played in European Cup or Champions League history to never win it on 226.
