A group of supporters of Chelsea Football Club was caught on video pushing a man and stopping him from boarding the Paris Metro while chanting “we’re racist, we’re racist and that’s the way we like it.”

In the widely condemned footage, the man is seen trying to squeeze in to a busy train multiple times but he was forcefully shoved out of the door and back on to the platform at the Richelieu Drouot station hours before Chelsea’s Champion League ties against Paris Saint-Germain at Parc des Princes.

Chelsea has strongly condemned the men in the video.

The club said: “Such behaviour is abhorrent and has no place in football or society.

“We will support any criminal action against those involved, and should evidence point to involvement of Chelsea season-ticket holders or members the club will take the strongest possible action against them, including banning orders.”

Paul Nolan, a British expatriate who filmed the clip on his phone, said: “The doors were open and I could see and hear that a lot of chanting was going on. It looked like it was quite aggressive so I just took out by phone to record it.”
