Joao Pedro Says PSG Were Bad Losers After Club World Cup Fight
Chelsea forward Joao Pedro didn’t hold back after their Club World Cup final win over PSG, calling out the French side for poor sportsmanship. Pedro said things turned heated after the final whistle when he stepped in to defend a teammate and was shoved to the ground. The clash followed Chelsea’s 3-0 win, with goals from Cole Palmer and Pedro himself sealing the trophy.
Tensions boiled over at the MetLife Stadium, as Pedro got into a confrontation with PSG keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. Manager Luis Enrique was also caught up in the scuffle and appeared to strike Pedro during the chaos. “They’re bad losers,” Pedro said after the game. “I went to defend my teammate and got pushed to the ground.”
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
