BARCELONA and PSV fans clashed in the streets in ugly scenes before their Champions League match tonight.
Footage that appears to be filmed from a balcony shows the two sets of fans confronting each other, with chairs and flares launched in the tear-up.
Some can be seen sprinting away from the trouble that marred what was a terrific night of football in Catalonia – for the hosts at least.
The Argentinean magician produced yet another masterclass as PSV Eindhoven became his 30th Champions League victim.
Barcelona also proved why the La Liga champions forked out £100million on Ousmane Dembele after he doubled their lead with a scintillating second.
But it was Messi who grabbed the headlines after bagging Champions League goal 104 and number 559 for his club.
PSV Eindhoven came into the contest on the back of seven straight wins but it wasn’t long before they received a Messi sucker punch.
After Dembele was hacked down 25-yards out, Messi went for precision over power to curl in an inch perfect free-kick, leaving the keeper with no chance.
Barca, five-time winners of the competition, were far from their usual high standards in the early stages and came within inches of falling behind on 17 minutes.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
