Paris Saint-Germain player sent off for hair-pulling in Club World Cup final.

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Joao Neves received a red card during the Club World Cup final against Chelsea, which ended in a 3-0 defeat for his team. Neves, aged 20, was sent off for pulling the hair of Chelsea's Marc Cucurella in an off-the-ball incident reviewed by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) for violent conduct.

Fans criticized Neves' actions on social media, with one user calling it an "absolute headloss" and another describing it as a "shameful act on the football pitch." The incident added to a difficult night for PSG, as their manager Luis Enrique was seen pushing Joao Pedro in the face after the match, amidst clashes between players from both teams.

The tournament, which had faced controversies due to high temperatures and stadium attendance issues, ended on a sour note with the red card incident and post-match altercations. FIFA, dealing with challenges like dynamic pricing and scheduling the next World Cup in the North American summer, faces significant issues to resolve before the upcoming World Cup in a year's time.
