In the Club World Cup final, PSG manager Luis Enrique was seen grabbing the face of Chelsea striker Joao Pedro as tensions rose after the match. Chelsea secured a surprising 3-0 victory over the European champions in New Jersey, with goals from Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro in the first half.

The game ended with PSG down to 10 men after Joao Neves pulled Marc Cucurella's hair, leading to clashes between players from both teams on the pitch. Luis Enrique was involved in an altercation with Joao Pedro, pushing him to the ground before being separated.

The match, attended by US President Donald Trump, was marked by a delayed kick-off due to an overrunning pre-match program. Despite PSG's pursuit of their fifth trophy of the season, Chelsea dominated the game, with Palmer shining with his performance.

Palmer scored two goals and assisted Joao Pedro's goal before half-time, showcasing his skill and composure. PSG had opportunities to score but failed to capitalize, with Chelsea's goalkeeper making crucial saves. The match ended with scuffles and frustration, culminating in Neves receiving a red card for an incident with Cucurella.
