<p>Tensions flared high as PSG manager <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/luis-enrique-explains-club-world-cup-brawl-psg-boss-chaos-throat-grab-chelsea-striker-joao-pedro/blt8b72c4a3c66e7105" target="_blank">Enrique was caught shoving Chelsea's Joao Pedro</a> in the face after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/psg-player-ratings-chelsea-ousmane-dembele-khvicha-kvaratskhelia-club-world-cup/bltb1cae88f955c97be" target="_blank">his team's loss against Chelsea</a>. The PSG president came to the support of his staff and manager, labelling Enrique as 'the most disciplined coach in the world'.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>After the final whistle in the match, PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was seen arguing with Pedro. The PSG head coach stepped in to support his player, and this is when the situation got a bit out of hand, with the Spanish manager caught pushing the Brazilian forward and raising his arm towards his face. The French club's owner later supported Enrique and stressed that it is unusual for the former Barcelona coach to behave the way he did.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>When asked about Enrique's action in the post-match conference, Al-Khelaifi said: "Our coach is the most disciplined and respected coach in the world. He went to separate the players who were fighting, and he got caught up in it. Coaches deserve respect too."
</p>

WHAT AL-KHELAIFI SAID

<p>Pedro has since condemned PSG staff and players, and labelled them <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/joao-pedro-blasts-psg-clashing-luis-enrique-brawl-chelsea-club-world-cup-final-punishment-spanish-tactician/bltfb3805746c746d3c" target="_blank">'sore losers'</a> in his post-match conference. The Chelsea striker later called it all part of the game and believed it's better to move on and celebrate the cup win. However, there is a potential that Enrique can face disciplinary actions, which could lead to him being banned for a while, in which case he might also be absent on the sidelines for PSG's Super Cup fixture against Tottenham Hotspur on August 14.</p>
