‘Stay safe in Paris tonight. Stick together and look after each other.’
In an attempt to curb violence ahead of tonight’s match, police previously said the pubs designated for away fans should close early to reduce the risk of clashes.
NUFC shared advice for fans travelling to Paris ahead of the match this evening, saying on their website:
‘Newcastle United fans are strongly advised to avoid the Auteuil suburb of Paris and should take note of this when travelling to the Parc de Princes on matchday.
‘Fans are strongly advised not to use line 10 on the metro system which would result in supporters exiting the metro system in Auteuil.
