Club World Cup final descends into huge brawl as PSG manager Luis Enrique SLAPS Chelsea’s Joao Pedro in face

LUIS ENRIQUE sparked a mass brawl as he appeared to SLAP Joao Pedro following Chelsea’s Club World Cup final win.

The Paris Saint-Germain manager lost his marbles as he lunged for the Blues’ new Brazilian star, who scored the third in a shock 3-0 drubbing against Enzo Maresca’s Blues.

Cole Palmer netted two almost identical stunners in the first half an hour for the Conference League winners against the European champions.

Before the England star then set up £60million summer signing Pedro for a third before the break, to all-but seal a surprise win.

Shell-shocked PSG failed to find a spark in the second half to make any sort of comeback – with midfielder Joao Neves even sent off late for pulling Marc Cucurella’s hair.

Then all hell broke loose as Chelsea’s celebrated at full-time.

Pedro confronted boss Enrique who reacted furiously, appearing to slap Pedro while also placing his hands on the striker.

PSG keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma followed up with a push.

It saw Chelsea’s latest summer signing drop to the floor as players from both sides join a huge fracas in the middle of the pitch.

Blues manager Maresca promptly tried to drag players away from the melee before Enrique was ushered away in shame.

The PSG boss later explained his actions, saying: “At the end of the game there is a situation that I believe is totally avoidable by everyone.

“My goal and intention, as always, is to try to separate the players so that there are no more problems. Avoidable situation.

“There is a lot of tension, a lot, a lot of pressure and from there, there is a series of pushes by many people that I think we should all avoid and that should not happen again.

“But I repeat, my intention as always, to avoid any situation that goes further.”

Fans were quick to react to the shocking incident.

One said: “What a salty man.”

Another declared: “No class.”

One noted: “Friendly they said.”

Another added: “Head lost.”

Enrique’s shameful behaviour did little to dampen the spirits as Chelsea celebrated a historic win.

And they were soon lifting the trophy – bizarrely alongside US President Donald Trump who seemingly wanted to take centre stage.

Palmer – named Player of the Tournament – said: “It is a great feeling.

Even better because everyone doubted us before the game. We played against a great team and we showed what we can do. I like scoring in finals and it happened again.

“The gaffer put a great game plan out. We knew where the spaces were and when to free me up.

“I had to repay him and score some goals.

“He is building something special, something important, a young team.

“Everyone’s been talking a lot of s**t about us all season but we are going in the right direction.”

Palmer scored in the 22nd and 30th minutes and Pedro netted his third goal in three appearances since signing from Brighton for £60m.

After winning six out of seven games in the USA, Chelsea have banked £90m prize money.

They will now have a three-week break, leaving little preparation time for the Prem opener at Crystal Palace on August 17.

Maresca said: “The players deserved it.

“We won the game in the first ten minutes, we set the tempo.
