New Delhi, July 14 (NationPress) Chelsea's latest signing Joao Pedro stated that Paris Saint-Germain 'lost their composure' following the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup Final, where Chelsea triumphed with an unexpected score of 3-0.
Pedro, who netted Chelsea's third goal after Cole Palmer doubled their lead, found himself in a tense exchange with PSG's goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and captain Achraf Hakimi. Head Coach Luis Enrique was seen intervening during the altercation; Pedro fell to the ground after the Spaniard's contact and shared his thoughts on the incident.
"I don't need to comment on them. Everyone is eager to win, but ultimately, I believe they lost their heads. However, this is football. Such incidents can occur. Now, we must relish our victory in the tournament, and that’s what matters. I prefer not to dwell on them as you know how it goes. This is football," Pedro was quoted saying by BBC.
"Everyone was involved. It was not the ideal reaction, considering the match's pressure. I noticed [Chelsea manager Enzo] Maresca pushing some players, and we had to separate everyone. I’m uncertain where that pressure originated. Yet, this is a situation we should all strive to avoid. My goal was to de-escalate the conflict so it wouldn't escalate further," Enrique added.
Head coach Enzo Maresca formulated a strategy to overcome the UEFA Champions League champions, and his young, talented squad executed it flawlessly in their victory at MetLife Stadium in New York, New Jersey. Cole Palmer scored two goals and provided an assist, leading Chelsea to victory over PSG and securing their position as the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup champions.
