Barcelona are set to take on PSG on Tuesday in the first leg of their crucial round of 16 showdown. Given their struggles this season, the Blaugrana could do with any sort of advantage at the Camp Nou but in an attempt to give their team the upper hand, Culés probably went too far with their actions in the night before the game.
According to El Chiringuito TV, fans of the Catalan giants were caught on camera setting fireworks outside Les Parisiens hotel in a bid to prevent them from getting a good night's rest the day before the game. The Spanish publication shared the video on Twitter and can be seen in the tweet below.

With fans being unable to attend this highly-anticipated Camp Nou showdown, some tried to influence the game regardless. These shenanigans, however, are not new and are thus unlikely to (heavily) impact the first-leg battle.
The Ligue 1 champions will visit the Spanish giants for their first time since their unforgettable 6-1 "La Remontada" defeat back in 2017. A lot has changed since then – PSG have gone through many managerial changes, with Mauricio Pochettino being the man in charge for this tie, while Neymar has swapped shirts.
Unfortunately, the Brazilian will not be available due to injury but Kylian Mbappe is ready to lead the charge. He will go head-to-head with the iconic Lionel Messi and will be hoping to lead his team to victory as he did when the pair crossed paths in France vs Argentina in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
