PSG Boss Luis Enrique SLAP Chelsea’s Joao Pedro in the face in CWC Final Post-Match.

The Club World Cup final between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain ended in controversy after PSG boss Luis Enrique appeared to strike Chelsea striker Joao Pedro in the face during a heated post-match clash. The incident occurred after Chelsea sealed a 3-0 win, with Cole Palmer scoring a first-half double and Pedro adding another goal before the break.

A Heated Confrontation

The confrontation began when Pedro got into a heated exchange with PSG players Gianluigi Donnarumma and Achraf Hakim, with Chelsea player Andrey Santos also involved. Enrique, seemingly upset by the situation, marched over to intervene but instead escalated the situation by laying his hands on Pedro. The PSG boss was quickly restrained by his own player, Presnel Kimpembe, but not before Pedro fell to the ground, clutching at his face.

Chelsea’s Dominant Win

Despite the post-match controversy, Chelsea’s victory was a dominant one, with the Blues becoming the first side to lift the trophy in the revamped 32-team format. Palmer’s double and Pedro’s goal sealed a convincing win for Chelsea, who were in control throughout the match.

Incident Sparks Concern

The incident between Enrique and Pedro has sparked concern about the behavior of coaches and players in high-pressure situations. The actions of Enrique, a respected coach in the football world, have raised questions about the emotional intensity of the game and the need for calm and professionalism, even in the face of defeat.

What’s Next for Both Teams?

Chelsea will celebrate their victory and look forward to their next challenge, while PSG will need to regroup and focus on their upcoming fixtures for coming new season.
