Police reportedly foiled a suspected terrorist attack on the Parc des Princes ahead of Paris Saint-Germain's game against Bordeaux on Saturday.

Police reportedly foiled a suspected terrorist attack on the Parc des Princes ahead of Paris Saint-Germain's home fixture on Saturday.

According to the Daily Mail, an explosive device was found and disarmed near the ground less than 12 hours before 47,537 fans turned out to watch PSG's 6-2 win over Bordeaux.

"The device was soaked in petrol and operational," a source told the Daily Mail. "It was found when a local resident of the building in Rue Chanez called the police shortly before 4.30am on Saturday.

"Five suspects were arrested at the scene, including a known radical with links to Islamist movements."

In November 2015, a bomb exploded outside the Stade de France in northern Paris while France were playing Germany as part of a series of co-ordinated terrorist attacks around the French capital.

PSG's victory on Saturday sent them three points clear of Monaco at the top of the Ligue 1 table.
