OM fans had boycotted the match to protest against security measures imposed on visiting supporters. After several months of relative tranquility, Boulogne and Auteuil fans, angered by their team's poor results and a mutual opposition to the club's chief backer, Colony Capital, started fighting again at the end of last year and clashed violently at Lille in January. Robin Leproux reported the club would not make available tickets to their fans for away games until further notice.{{cite news | archive-date = 28 June 2011 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110628225843/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=757618&sec=europe&cc=3888 | url-status = dead

French Prime Minister François Fillon and Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux disbanded five PSG ultras supporters groups in light of the violence at the Parc des Princes. From the Tribune d'Auteuil, the groups Supras Auteuil 1991, Paris 1970 la Grinta and Les Authentiks were dissolved. At the other end of the pitch, the Kop of Boulogne lost Commando Loubard and Milice Paris. Once again, however, it was unclear how this would result in anything different regarding violence in the stands. Technically, the Boulogne Boys were banned in 2008, but most of their members have simply infiltrated other groups in the Kop of Boulogne.{{cite news | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100924033026/http://unprofessionalfoul.com/2010/04/30/french-firms-disbanded-members-laugh | archive-date = 24 September 2010 | url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121006145915/http://www.lfp.fr/telechargement/CLASSEMENT_CENTRES_FORMATION_2010.pdf |archive-date = 6 October 2012 |url-status = dead}}

Squad information

Kit

Nike manufactured the kits for Paris Saint-Germain and the airline Emirates continued to be the club's main sponsor. Nike have been PSG's official kit provider since 1989. Emirates have been the club's partner since 2005 and the major shirt sponsor since January 2006. PSG were handed brand new home and away kits. The home shirt was mainly PSG's traditional home colours of Navy Blue. Red pinstripes ran down the shirt and sleeves. The collar and ends of the sleeves were red, dropping the club's 'historical' shirt and causing some controversy amongst the fans, as it strayed away from the more traditional blue shirt with a central red vertical stripe trimmed with white.{{cite news
