Watch Paris Saint-Germain fans repeatedly chant ‘peasants’ as they march through Manchester

Paris Saint-Germain fans aren’t doing much to ingratiate themselves with the locals ahead of their visit to Manchester City on Tuesday evening.

With hours to go before their game at the Etihad, supporters of the French club marched down Manchester’s Market Street, repeatedly chanting ‘paysans’ – French for ‘peasants’.

It’s not clear if they’re directing their chants at any Mancunian passers-by, or if the chant is an ironic description of their own petrodollar-loaded club.

PSG will hope to edge past City tonight, with Manuel Pellegrini’s side in the driving seat thanks to the two away goals in their 2-2 draw in the French capital a week ago.
