While victory tastes sweet, the bitter taste of defeat can sometimes be hard to cherish. This seems to be the case for the shocked PSG fans after what transpired recently. When the likes of Kylian Mbappe walked inside St. James Park, little did the fans know about the drama that awaited.
What seemed to be a cakewalk for PSG turned into an absolute nightmare! The star-studded team was humbled by a gritty Newcastle United FC team game. With goals from Almiron, Burn, Longstaff and Schar, the home team managed to win 4-1 in one of the upsets of UEFA Champions League 2023. Unfortunately, the high spirits of the Newcastle fans were daunted when an unwanted incident took place involving an alleged PSG supporter. Let’s look at how an upset victory brought a rash act of violence by an alleged PSG fan.

However, things take an unfortunate turn as a person in a grey t-shirt emerges from the crowd. He advances towards a fan and, without warning, throws an aggressive punch at him. Although his attempted knockout attempt was not successful, the move has surely reminded us of the deadly punches we have witnessed in the UFC.
According to the caption of the post, the man throwing the punch was supposedly a PSG supporter. However, no confirmation of the same has been provided yet.
