Luis Enrique Caught on Camera Attacking Joao Pedro in Heated Clash After Full Time

 Chelsea FC’s 3-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the FIFA Club World Cup final at MetLife Stadium was overshadowed by a shocking post-match brawl involving PSG manager Luis Enrique and Chelsea’s João Pedro. The incident, which erupted after the final whistle, has sparked widespread controversy and drawn global attention to the otherwise celebratory occasion.

Chelsea dominated the match, with Cole Palmer scoring twice and João Pedro adding a deft chip over goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma to secure their second Club World Cup title. However, tensions boiled over as the game concluded. Reports indicate that Luis Enrique, visibly frustrated by PSG’s defeat, confronted João Pedro on the pitch. Witnesses and multiple sources, including posts on X, claim Enrique pushed or slapped the Brazilian forward in the face, with some alleging he grabbed Pedro’s neck following a heated exchange involving PSG goalkeeper Donnarumma. The altercation reportedly stemmed from mutual provocations during a chaotic melee involving both teams.
