A fight breaks out following the Club World Cup final as Luis Enrique “hits Joao Pedro”

Scenes of shock immediately following the final whistle as PSG suffered a rare defeat

 

Joao Pedro seemed to be struck by PSG head coach Luis Enrique as Chelsea celebrated their Club World Cup victory. The brawl on the pitch and the animosity between the two clubs were the main draws of the occurrence. The competition appears to be getting more intense as both sides get ready for their next games, which should make for an exciting encounter. The upcoming meeting is much anticipated by fans, who expect it to be dramatic and emotionally charged. To get a vital win, the players will need to focus and be determined as both teams compete for supremacy.

Additional video, however, showed Enrique walking up to Joao Pedro with Donnarumma and then hitting his neck, causing the Blues striker to fall with his face in his hands. Both fans and commentators were deeply divided over this occurrence, with many raising doubts about the players’ moral character. In the days before their next game, both teams were under more public scrutiny as tensions grew.

Earlier in the match, Joao Neves was sent off for grabbing Marc Cucurella’s hair in the 83rd minute, which caused tensions to rise. Nuno Mendes was given a yellow card in the nearly last minute for lunging at Christopher Nkunku, who was essentially motionless.

However, Cole Palmer’s brilliant first-half masterpiece helped the Blues win the final 3-0 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey; thus, PSG’s rage and frustration did not dampen the spirits of the Chelsea players.
