Chelsea claimed the revamped Club World Cup with a 3–0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain at MetLife Stadium on 13 July. Cole Palmer struck twice before setting up João Pedro shortly before half-time, handing coach Enzo Maresca a second trophy of the season and leaving the European champions well beaten. Celebrations were marred when PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and Chelsea’s João Pedro exchanged words, prompting PSG head coach Luis Enrique to wade in. Broadcast footage showed the Spaniard grabbing at the forward’s throat and delivering a slap that sent the Brazilian to the turf, while players from both sides jostled before officials restored order. Luis Enrique later apologised, insisting his “intention was to separate the players”, whereas João Pedro accused PSG of being “bad losers”. FIFA said it is reviewing the incident under its disciplinary code, and refereeing analysts have suggested the coach could face a multi-match suspension and a fine. The flashpoint overshadowed Chelsea’s second Club World Cup crown and raised questions about PSG’s discipline only weeks into the new season.
