PSG’s Luis Enrique Slaps Chelsea’s Joao Pedro After Chelsea’s Club World Cup Win
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique appeared to lose his cool after PSG’s 3-0 loss to Chelsea in the Club World Cup final at the MetLife Stadium. Chelsea, who many saw as underdogs heading into the match, stunned the French giants with a dominant first-half performance, as Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro found the net to seal the win.
But the drama didn’t end at the final whistle. Tensions boiled over when Joao Pedro clashed with PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. In the heat of the moment, Enrique got involved in the scuffle and seemed to strike Pedro, knocking him to the ground. The scene quickly escalated before one of Enrique’s assistants stepped in to hold him back, while Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca rushed to pull his players away from the confrontation.
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.”
