But before kick-off at the iconic Rose Bowl Stadium in California last night, violence erupted between supporters in the stands.
PSG and Botafogo fans threw punches at each other with around 25 people seemingly involved.
The ugly scenes saw two Parisians attack a single Botafogo supporter and continue after he dropped to the floor.
Other fans stopped the duo before a man in a Botafogo shirt then attacked them.
It led to several people falling over and as they were on the deck, a different member of the PSG faithful kicked and stamped on someone's head in a sickening assault.
Another was seen punching a man repeatedly while he was down.
There was shockingly no stewards or police on the scene to stop the fight.
And many other supporters not looking for trouble are seen running away from the melee.
It remains unclear what began the brawl or the injuries sustained.
PSG supporters were involved in violence after winning the Champions League final last month.
The victory led to cars being set on fire and clashes with riot cops back in the French capital, with over 500 arrests and 200 people injured.
On the pitch last night, Nottingham Forest target Igor Jesus scored the only goal in a shock win for Botafogo, who now top Group B after two wins.
They look set to go through with PSG and Atletico Madrid battling it out for second place.

Real Housewives of New York star demands $10 MILLION from ex-fiancée over bombshell claims
Real Housewives of New York star Racquel Chevremont is accusing her ex-fiancée, famed artist Mickalene Thomas of harassment, financial betrayal and years of unpaid work. The Bronx-born art curator and model is seeking a minimum of $10 million from Thomas over these explosive allegations. In a court paper, obtained by Chevremont says she worked as Thomas's strategist and dealmaker from 2012 to 2022, brokering multimillion-dollar sales and acting as her liaison in the art world. In a summons and notice filed in New York State Supreme Court on August 8, the reality star declared her hope to 'redress for years of exploitation, nonpayment and unlawful conduct.' 'From 2012 to 2022, Ms. Chevremont, who is also Ms. Thomas' former fiancée, contributed immeasurably to Ms. Thomas' artistic and commercial success, acting as a strategic advisor, and liaison to galleries, collectors, and institutions,' the filing states. 'Despite these work-related contributions, Ms. Chevremont was paid improperly for more than a decade, both as an employee and under a written agreement effective January 1, 2021, as well as for compensation prior to 2021 and for multimillion-dollar deals she negotiated on Ms. Thomas' behalf.' Chevremont also claims Thomas, whose work hangs in MoMA and Jay-Z's office, subjected her to a 'hostile and abusive work environment as well as quid pro quo harassment.' 'While Ms. Chevremont ended their personal relationship in 2020, Ms. Chevremont and Ms. Thomas continued to work together. During this time, Ms. Thomas repeatedly and improperly pressured Ms. Chevremont to resume their romantic relationship, and ultimately terminated Ms. Chevremont's employment, in violation of New York State and New York City Human Rights Laws, when she made it clear that this would never happen,' Chevremont claimed in the filing. She also alleges Thomas promised her 20 percent commissions — then 'illegally diverted' the money into her own company. has reached out to Thomas' representatives, but have not heard back. Neither Thomas nor Chevremont's teams have publicly commented on the matter. Chevremont and Thomas first met in 2002, but did not begin dating until 2011. They got engaged in 2019 on New Year's Eve. They split just one year later. Chevremont has since moved on with her current fiancée, Mel Corpus. 'Mel and I, we've been friends for over 12 years,' Chevremont said in her first RHONY episode. 'We were very single when we got together, but there was a bit of a scandal. There were a few people that were not all that happy.' Alicia Keys previously called Thomas 'a mastermind at conveying poignant messages through striking visuals.' 'Mickalene herself is walking art,' the singer wrote for Time magazine's 100 most influential people of 2025. 'She has such a distinct presence and aura that it's impossible not to feel inspired by her. The art and the artist both are bold, fearless, and fierce.' According to GLAAD, Chevremont 'was discovered by photographer and model scout Steve Landis for Elite models in 1993.' Over the years, she has landed campaigns for Benetton, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, Fila, L'Oréal and Nivea. She's also worked in the art world for more than two decades, and, even, joined the acquisition committees of the Studio Museum in Harlem and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum back in 2003. Chevremont is also the founder of The Josie Club, a space dedicated to honoring queer Black women's lives and achievements. She previously admitted that she struggled with her queerness and publicly coming out. 'I'm what you'd call a later in life lesbian and when I first came out I lost a lot of people,' she said. 'I believe that because of my age and my accomplishments I didn't care what anyone had to say, I didn't feel the need to prove anything to anyone.' She added: 'I had spent my entire adult life in the fashion and art worlds so while my personal life might have suffered my professional life didn't really skip a beat due to my queerness. I was lucky to be a part of two industries where queerness is embraced.'

US appeals court blocks New Mexico's 7-day waiting period on gun purchases
A panel of federal appellate judges ruled Tuesday that New Mexico's seven-day waiting period on gun purchases likely infringes on citizens' Second Amendment rights, putting the law on hold pending a legal challenge. The ruling by the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sends the case back to a lower court. New Mexico's waiting period went into effect in May 2024, and does hold an exception for concealed permit holders. 'Cooling-off periods do not fit into any historically grounded exceptions to the right to keep and bear arms, and burden conduct within the Second Amendment's scope,' wrote Judge Timothy Tymkovich in the split 2-1 ruling. 'We conclude that New Mexico's Waiting Period Act is likely an unconstitutional burden on the Second Amendment rights of its citizens. In a dissenting opinion, Judge Scott Matheson said New Mexico's waiting period 'establishes a condition or qualification on the commercial sale of arms that does not serve abusive ends.' The National Rifle Association and Mountain States Legal Foundation, an advocacy group for gun rights, filed the lawsuit on behalf of two New Mexico residents, citing concerns about delayed access to weapons for victims of domestic violence and others. Democratic state lawmakers had enacted the restrictions in hopes of ensuring more time for the completion of federal background checks on gun buyers. In a statement, Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham expressed 'deep disappointment' and said Tuesday's ruling was likely to cost lives. 'New Mexico's waiting period law was carefully crafted to minimize gun violence while respecting Second Amendment rights,' said Lujan Grisham, highlighting additional exceptions for gun purchases by law enforcement officers and transactions between immediate family members. 'Waiting periods prevent impulsive acts of violence and suicide, giving people time to step back and reassess their emotions during moments of crisis.' It was unclear whether the governor and legislators would request a broader review by a majority of judges on the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. Only California, Hawaii and Washington, along with the District of Columbia — have longer waiting periods than New Mexico that range up to 14 days, according to the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. Rhode Island also has a seven-day wait. Michael McCoy, director of the Mountain States Legal Foundation's Center to Keep and Bear Arms, applauded the ruling. The group is also challenging Colorado's minimum three-day waiting period for gun purchases, enacted in 2023. 'The court found that there was no analogous law from that era that would support the modern day law that's at issue,' McCoy said. 'For now, it means New Mexicans can go buy their firearms without an arbitrary delay imposed.' —-

Rangers battered as the boo sea of Ibrox empties on Russell Martin and his Brugge flops
Punters seriously questioning whether Martin really is the man to take their club forward Russell Martin's mum might have to check on her boy again. Last week, he called to reassure her that he was OK in the Rangers manager's job. That might not be the case now. In fact, at one stage here it looked like the Ibrox gaffer might have to get The Samaritans on the phone. Because this chastening Champions League experience against Club Brugge was anything but OK. Certainly, the first 45 minutes was a million miles away from the kind of European performance Rangers fans have come to expect. And it left punters seriously questioning whether Martin really is the man to take their club forward. His team were 3-0 down to the Belgian champs after just 20 MINUTES - when calamitous defending led to goals from Romeo Vermant, Jorne Spileers and Brandon Mechele. Danilo pulled one back shortly after half-time for Rangers but the damage had already been done. For Brugge's first, it was a shocking mix-up between Jack Butland and his centre-back Nasser Djiga. And that set the tone for Rangers early on. Spileers was free at a corner to make it two, before Mechele pounced on a poor clearance to rifle home a third. Danilo's strike offered a glimmer of hope, as did a VAR-disallowed Djeidi Gassama goal, but Gers couldn't mount a comeback. The display from Martin's side led to vitriol in the stands as they were booed off at the end. And despite a better showing after the break their Champions League hopes are now hanging by a threat. Here's 5 talking points from Ibrox. Can't hide faults A flurry of urgency and enthusiasm in the second half here won't mask how poor Rangers were in the first. Nor will it dampen the criticism on Martin and his players. Their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League group phase look all but dead after a disastrous first-leg defeat. But a Europa League berth might be a blessing in the long-term because this Rangers team simply aren't ready for Europe's top competition. We all know Martin's side is a work in progress. And early on here, Brugge were a level above as they ripped them apart. Martin is under pressure anyway, that comes with the job. And a defeat in this play-off tie won't necessarily pile on more. However, if his team don't up their game at St Mirren on Sunday then in the Old Firm against Celtic a week later - the flak will fly. Fans weren't in favour of his appointment and so far they're unconvinced with his style of play. In the first 45 here, supporters were apoplectic with rage after going 3-0 down. Djeidi Gassama's superb performance offered a bit of hope going forward. But the next 11 days are huge for the under-fire Rangers boss. Tough start It was always going to be a baptism of fire for Rangers new boy Jayden Meghoma when Martin decided to throw him in at the Champions League deep end. But the Brentford kid couldn't have envisaged how his Euro bow would pan out. Meghoma's first few touches were good and - going forward - he looked confident. He even grabbed an assist for Danilo with a terrific cross as Gers threatened an unlikely comeback. But when Brugge were running all over Rangers in the first-half, the left-back endured a torrid time going the other way. Winger Carlos Forbs fancied his chances of getting in behind Meghoma at every opportunity. In the Rangers man's defence, he wasn't exactly helped out by team-mates around him. You had to feel for Meghoma. Before tonight, the biggest game of his career would have been a Carabao Cup tie for Southampton or a Championship game on loan at Preston. The youngster certainly didn't disgrace himself on his debut - even if his Ibrox career got off to the worst possible start. Dodgy stuff The style of football you want to play is irrelevant if you can't defend properly. And right now under Martin, Rangers are an absolute shambles at the back. There was comic book stuff against Alloa in the Premier Sports Cup at the weekend when they conceded two goals. This was a step up in class against Brugge but defensively, Gers were just as poor. All three of Brugge's goals in the first 20 minutes were preventable. It was a defensive horror show, initiated by the mix-up between Djiga and Butland for the visitors' first. Neither player took responsibility and it proved costly. For the second, Spileers had the freedom of Ibrox from a corner as Rangers were static in their zonal marking. And when Mechele made it 3-0 with a stunning finish - it came after a poor Joe Rothwell clearance and Danilo getting caught sleeping. A catalogue of defensive mistakes sealed Rangers' fate in the tie before half-time. Bomb squad James Tavernier has been bombed out of the Rangers side a few times now. But not for a game as big as this. And you have to wonder if it's a sign of Martin gradually phasing the skipper out of a new-look team. With young left-back Meghoma just in the door at Ibrox - and Jefte on the way out - most fans expected Tavernier to start in his usual berth, with Max Aarons shifting to the left. But with Meghoma thrown in for a debut and Aarons one of Martin's key signings, there was no place for the captain on a huge European night. A penny for Tavernier's thoughts as he watched Martin's men go three-down after 20 minutes. He's been an incredible servant to Rangers for a decade and only a fool would write off the 33-year-old just yet. But if Martin thinks he's the man to steer the club into a bright new era - Tavernier's omission on a Champions League night might be the clearest sign yet of his plans for the future. In-form Brugge If there's a shred of consolation for Rangers it's that they lost to a very good, polished European outfit. Club Brugge didn't have to play at their best here - largely due to the home side's mistakes - but they were still far too good for Martin's men. Nicky Hayen's team were in Glasgow last November and performed superbly against Celtic in the Champions League. How they only left Parkhead with a 1-1 draw is anyone's guess. But they were ruthless at Ibrox. Brugge skipper Hans Vanaken hardly broke sweat in midfield as he ran most of the game. Rangers' players couldn't get near the Belgian international. On the right flank, Portuguese wide man Carlos Forbs caused trouble, while Greek ace Christos Tzolis - who is a £20 million target for Crystal Palace - was a constant threat. They're a top European side who will deserve their Champions League spot if they finish the job in Brugge next week.
