Luis Enrique attempted to break up a brawl after Paris Saint-Germain's loss to Chelsea in the Club World Cup final. The match saw high tension culminating in an 86th-minute red card for PSG's João Neves. Enrique was seen pushing João Pedro during the altercation but stated his intention was to calm the escalating situation. He emphasized that, despite the loss, PSG's players are not 'losers' but 'runners-up' in the competition. The team will now take a break before resuming action in August.
"I have seen [Chelsea coach Enzo] Maresca. I saw he had pushed others and we had to separate all the players and I do not know where that pressure came from."
"We are not losers, there are no losers. We are the runners-up. A loser is somebody who gives up. In this high level of sport there are no losers whatsoever."
