Luis Enrique expressed regret over his involvement in a post-match altercation with Joao Pedro following Chelsea's 3-0 victory over PSG in the Club World Cup final. Chelsea’s Cole Palmer had a standout performance, scoring two goals and assisting another, becoming the second Chelsea player since 2013-14 to directly contribute to three goals in a major final. The match saw PSG reduced to ten men after Joao Neves' foul. Enrique emphasized the need for players to avoid tensions and confrontations in the future.
At the end of the match, there was a situation that I believe could have been avoided by everyone. My objective and my intention, as always, is to try to win over the players so that there are no more problems. Internally, there is a lot of tension, a lot of pressure. From there, there is a series of shoves from a lot of people, which I think we should all avoid and which should not happen again.
Cole Palmer scored twice and assisted once in the Club World Cup final, becoming just the second Chelsea player to directly contribute to three goals in a major final since 2013-14, alongside Eden Hazard.
