Paris St Germain have denied accusations that their fans caused any trouble before, during or after Thursday night’s 2-0 defeat to Chelsea in the Women’s Champions League.

The French club expressed their “full support” in a statement yesterday morning, hours after weapons, fireworks and drugs were found on board a supporters’ coach.

A coach carrying about 50 PSG fans were turned away from the Kingsmeadow ground prior to kick-off after Metropolitan Police said “knives and knuckledusters” were recovered while one man was arrested for possession of class A drugs.
