Paris Saint-Germain’s frustrations boiled over in dramatic fashion after a crushing 3-0 defeat to Chelsea in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final at MetLife Stadium. In a shocking turn of events, head coach Luis Enrique and goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma were involved in violent altercations with Chelsea players moments after the final whistle.
Luis Enrique, visibly enraged, approached Chelsea striker João Pedro—who had just scored the third goal—and allegedly grabbed him by the neck in what appeared to be an unprovoked act of aggression. The incident quickly escalated as players from both teams surrounded the scene.
Simultaneously, Donnarumma was caught on camera punching also João Pedro in the face during a heated scuffle near midfield. The altercation triggered chaos on the pitch, with security and coaching staff rushing in to separate the players and restore order.

Security and team officials scrambled onto the field to restore order, while match officials and stadium stewards escorted Enrique, Donnarumma, and other involved PSG personnel off the pitch to prevent further escalation. Sources at MetLife reported that Chelsea fans booed aggressively as Luiz Enrique was forced off, with some chanting “Get out!”
FIFA has confirmed they are reviewing the situation under their Disciplinary Code. Given the severity of these actions, both Luis Enrique and Donnarumma are likely to face serious sanctions, including multi-game suspensions and fines. The organization is expected to issue a formal statement once all video evidence and match reports are assessed.
