Metz v PSG: Violent clashes break out between the two sets of fans

This Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain (2nd) faces Metz (18th) at the Stade Saint-Symphorien as part of the 16th matchday of Ligue 1 2025-2026 (kick-off at 7pm, broadcast on Ligue1+). Shortly before kick-off, Le Républicain Lorrain reported that there had been scenes of violence between supporters of both sides.

“The national police had to intervene with tear gas to disperse the two groups.”

“Ultras from both sides had a violent confrontation a few kilometers from the stadium.

Around 2pm, on rue Franiatte in Montigny-lès-Metz, several dozen of them clashed. There were reportedly about forty on the Parisian side, and a little more on the other side. The national police had to intervene with tear gas to disperse the two groups. The different groups then dispersed.”

It is always sad to see such scenes around football, which becomes just an excuse to form factions and look for a fight. This is not the spirit of sport, and those who initiate such altercations have no place near sports. But unfortunately, it is difficult to control everyone.

Moments like these will not help supporters regain more freedom to travel. The foolishness of a few is a real problem for many. We hope there will be no further incidents on the sidelines of the match.
