An Arsenal fan was caught on camera making alleged racist and homophobic slurs towards PSG fans during the Champions League fixture.
Mikel Arteta’s side were beaten 2-1 at the Parc des Princes as they exited the tournament at the semi-final stage having lost 3-1 on aggregate.
However, the Arsenal fan, seen in the video below, is now at the centre of a storm as the clip that has gone viral on social media.
Ilies Djaouti (@IliesDjt) tweeted: 🚨 RACISM “You Dirty Shitty Muslim” “Shut your mouth, you Dirty Nigger” “Dirty Faggot”: a PSG supporter was insulted in English by an Arsenal supporter this evening at the Parc des Princes! (video received)
To share! #PSGARS
I’m in contact with the victim. She will file a complaint. The stewards apparently ignored her warnings. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if necessary.

The Arsenal fan shouts: ‘F***ing Muslim terrorists ****,’ as he angrily pointed his fingers.
‘Shut up you look like a f***ing f****t. F***ing F****t. F***ing F****t.’
The clip ends with the fan ranting: ‘B***y boy, f***ing b***y boy.’
This comes just a week on from an incident which occurred after the first leg on April 29, 2025, at Emirates Stadium, where PSG won 1-0.
A group of Arsenal fans were filmed allegedly making monkey gestures and chants toward Black PSG players as they boarded their team bus, prompting strong condemnation. Arsenal issued a statement denouncing racism and discrimination, vowing to identify and take the “strongest possible action” against those involved.
PSG, in collaboration with SOS Racisme, announced plans to file a civil case, and UEFA is reviewing the incident for potential sanctions, similar to a €25,000 fine imposed on Barcelona for fan misconduct last year.
Arsenal has a history of addressing fan misconduct, having banned 24 supporters for abusive behaviour last season and maintaining a “See Something, Say Something” anonymous reporting service.
This is how Twitter suers reacted after an Arsenal fan is caught on camera making alleged racist and homophobic slurs towards PSG fans…
@Kapo300_: Hope they ban him for life
@VivAFcc: People like him make it difficult for us people of different backgrounds to watch sport. Needs to get banned immediately. This is not tolerated at all.
@ConAFC: Horrible c*nt, hope he gets a fat ban
@JAlexMurphy: Name and shame. No need for this
@babbsAFC: What a dumb c*nt. Whenever I see videos like this it blows my mind, hopefully someone knows him 👍🏼
@tlfwire: How is everyone just standing there ? 💀
@Alexsmith7631: I’m proper ashamed that this is how European teams are gonna see us now

Report discriminatory abuse
If you’re a SPECTATOR AT A PROFESSIONAL MATCH
The guidance below applies to domestic matches not at Wembley Stadium.
• If you’re a spectator at a professional match and witness discriminatory behaviour from another spectator at any point whilst inside the stadium, please report it to the nearest steward or police officer.
• Many professional clubs also offer fans at their stadium a confidential text service to contact during the match – similar to the one operated by Wembley Stadium.
• If you’re outside the stadium, on the way to/from a match or on social media then report it to Kick It Out through their online reporting form or via their reporting app available on both iOS and Android. Alternatively, email Kick It Out at report@kickitout.org
• You should also report it to the police, either:
– In person
– By calling the local police on 101
– By completing the online reporting form you’ll find here
– By calling 999 if you are in an emergency
– You can also report it to The FA at integrity@TheFA.com

If you are a PROFESSIONAL PLAYER
The guidance below applies to any player in the Premier League, English Football League, National League System (steps 1 to 4), the Barclays FA Women’s Super League or FA Women’s Championship.
• If you or another player is subject to discriminatory abuse at a game by either the crowd or another player, report it to a match official as soon as possible.
• If for any reason you cannot report it to a match official at the time or after the game, you can email integrity@TheFA.com
• Further details on reporting discrimination and the process that is followed in these instances are also provided on pages 26-29 of The FA’s ‘Essential Information for Players’ guidance, which you will have been given at the start of the season and which you can also download below.
• If you are a member or associated member of the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA), you can report discrimination incidents via equalities@thepfa.com or for online abuse at enough@thepfa.com The PFA has support systems in place. You can read more about the PFA’s work on reporting discrimination in football here.
If you are a club employee at a PROFESSIONAL GAME
• If you are a manager, coach, physio, kit supervisor or any other member of broader team operations and experience discriminatory abuse from another participant connected to the match (e.g. a player or staff member of the other team), you should report it to a match official as soon as possible. In practice this would ordinarily be the fourth official.
• At games where no fourth official is present, you should report it as soon as possible to another one of the match officials.
• If the discriminatory abuse has come from a spectator and there is no fourth official, you should bring it to the attention of either: one of the other match officials, the security officer or senior steward or the person responsible for the security of the game.
