Chaos broke out at the end of the grand final: Fist from coach to player
Chelsea defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in the FIFA Club World Cup final to win the title. The pitch turned into a battleground after the match.
In the incident where the technical staff and the players came to blows, coach Luis Enrique punched Chelsea star Joao Pedro.
This image has gone viral worldwide, and Enrique is expected to receive a heavy penalty. Speaking after the match, the Spanish manager clarified the incident and defended himself.
"THE PURPOSE WAS TO PREVENT"
"My only goal was to prevent the players from fighting ," said Enrique, "I saw Maresca pushing people! Obviously, our goal was to stop the players. There was a lot of tension and pushing. It was a logically avoidable situation. I have nothing else to say."
Enrique continued:
"Loser? I'm not a loser. I'm second. There are no losers in top-level football. A loser is someone who doesn't wake up from their bed."
