Chelsea Women's manager hopes fans travel to Paris after worrying scenes

Chelsea manager Emma Hayes has said she believes fans should still feel confident to travel to France for the second leg of their Women's Champions League quarter-final despite the concerning scenes that marred their 2-0 first-leg win at home to Paris Saint-Germain on Thursday.

Police discovered a cache of weapons in a coach carrying PSG fans to Chelsea's home ground, which they believed had been damaged by travelling supporters earlier on Thursday, and also arrested one supporter for possession of illegal drugs.

Such incidents, while familiar in men's football, are highly unusual in the women's game.

But Hayes tried to put them in context by telling BBC Sport after Thursday's match:
"I don't think we should discourage anyone from going."
- 'Knives, knuckle dusters and drugs' -
=======================================
"One man from the coach was arrested for possession of class A drugs and the remaining passengers were escorted from the area by police. Enquiries continue."
"I wouldn't say we're comfortable. That (the second leg) is going to be a 10-15,000-strong, packed crowd, and I expect it will be quite hostile, and we're going to go through difficult moments."
