Chelsea fans reportedly had teargas fired at them by French police before and after the 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain last night.
A report in the Daily Mail claims that a section of the travelling support had teargas fired them and were 'kettled' outside a bar in the city centre.
With 10 minutes played more than 200 fans were still trying to get into the Parc des Princes.
French police reportedly used the crowd deterrent amid scuffles involving the two sets of supporters.
After the match, Chelsea fans were involved in a highly unsavoury incident that saw them refuse to allow a black passenger to board a train on the Paris Metro .
The club have condemned the behaviour and stated that those involved will be banned.
Uefa is aware of the video but said they are unable to take any action as the incident took place away from the stadium.
"Uefa condemns all forms of discrimination and we are appalled by the incident which took place in the Paris Metro on Tuesday," read a statement. "However, as it occurred away from stadium, it is outside Uefa’s remit to act. It's a matter for local authorities to investigate further."
Chelsea battled to a 1-1 draw in Paris after right-back Branislav Ivanovic gave them the lead, and a vital away goall, in the first-half.
After the break, however, PSG were the much better side, with Edinson Cavani heading home an equaliser 10 minutes after the break. Laurent Blanc's side continued to push for a winner, but couldn't find a way past the reinstated Thibaut Courtois.
Show all 22 1 /22PSG 1 Chelsea 1 player ratings PSG 1 Chelsea 1 player ratings Salvatore Sirigu Authoritative handling but left helpless for opener. Hung on to Hazard shot and beat Terry to free-kick but underemployed in second period. 6
PSG 1 Chelsea 1 player ratings Gregory van der Wiel Enjoyed space to motor forward but often let down by poor deliveries. Beat Azpilicueta too easily a couple of times and added threat for home side. 7
PSG 1 Chelsea 1 player ratings Marquinhos Imperious domestic form has seen him linked with Manchester United and played a key part in keeping backline secure in early exchanges. 7
PSG 1 Chelsea 1 player ratings Thiago Silva Stood up well to physical challenge of Costa before hosts turned up pressure. Had little to do after break as Chelsea were kept on the back foot. 6
PSG 1 Chelsea 1 player ratings Maxwell Linked up well with Verratti and part of composed PSG backline who recovered from shaky spell before interval. Partly to blame for Chelsea’s goal. 6
PSG 1 Chelsea 1 player ratings Marco Verratti Ceded free-kick to Hazard in dangerous area but later caught by Matic for PSG’s own set-piece. Inventive and at times overly combative.7
PSG 1 Chelsea 1 player ratings David Luiz Deployed in midfield but badly lost former colleague Ivanovic as the Serb put visitors in front. Better in second half. Creative usage of referee’s foam. 6
PSG 1 Chelsea 1 player ratings Blaise Matuidi Effervescent midfielder always sought to burst forward and went close with header that Courtois repelled. Delightful cross for the equaliser. 7
PSG 1 Chelsea 1 player ratings Ezequiel Lavezzi Effective work on left side but overhit his crosses at times. Pounced after Ibrahimovic effort was saved but had shot blocked by Azpilicueta. 7
PSG 1 Chelsea 1 player ratings Zlatan Ibrahimovic Denied from close range and sent another free-kick over Courtois’ bar. Slalomed through Chelsea box before being twice denied by strong Courtois stops. 7
PSG 1 Chelsea 1 player ratings Edinson Cavani Has revelled in this competition this season and inspired early attacks. Forced Courtois save before powering home leveller. Dribbled effort wide late on. 8
PSG 1 Chelsea 1 player ratings Chelsea: Thibaut Courtois Restored to starting line-up and made strong saves from Matuidi and Cavani but left exposed for latter’s equaliser. Two superb stops to deny Ibrahimovic. 8
PSG 1 Chelsea 1 player ratings Branislav Ivanovic Tireless running but not able to have same impact as PSG counterparts, who were more direct and confident on ball. Could not be faulted for effort. 6
PSG 1 Chelsea 1 player ratings Gary Cahill Trusted ahead of the impressive Kurt Zouma despite indifferent form. Inspired flick set up Ivanovic for goal but lost his man for home side’s goal. 6
PSG 1 Chelsea 1 player ratings John Terry Provided unlikely cross that led to Ivanovic’s opener and was hub of Chelsea backline as he tried manfully to prevent a winner for the French side.7
PSG 1 Chelsea 1 player ratings Cesar Azpilicueta Usually one of the side’s more reliable performers but struggled to settle here. Made a vital clearance from Lavezzi shot after Courtois save. 6
PSG 1 Chelsea 1 player ratings Ramires Tireless running but not able to have same impact as PSG counterparts, who were more direct and confident on ball. Could not be faulted for effort. 6
PSG 1 Chelsea 1 player ratings Nemanja Matic Habitually saves his better displays for the bigger matches and was impressive. Used size as he dropped back to aid Chelsea’s defensive efforts. 7
PSG 1 Chelsea 1 player ratings Willian Endless energy but not able to impact greatly as hosts enjoyed better of the middle of the park. Sacrificed for new man Cuadrado in final minutes. 5
PSG 1 Chelsea 1 player ratings Cesc Fabregas Pushed forward into number 10 role but not at his creative best as he suffered from heavy cold. Afforded little time on ball and taken off near the end. 6
PSG 1 Chelsea 1 player ratings Eden Hazard Relentlessly barracked by Parisian locals and relentlessly marked by home players. Came in for rough treatment and not one of his best showings. 6
PSG 1 Chelsea 1 player ratings Diego Costa First appearance in three weeks for the Spaniard and enjoyed muscular battle with Thiago. A little rusty in decision-making and minor scuffle with Luiz. 6
Jose Mourinho's team managed to hold on and now hold the advantage heading into the second leg at Stamford Bridge on 11 March.
