Luis Enrique hits Chelsea star and leaves him on floor as fight breaks out after Club World Cup Final

Chelsea's Club World Cup win ended with Paris Saint-Germain fury as Luis Enrique appeared to hit Joao Pedro. The Spaniard lashed out and caught the Blues' new signing in the face, leaving him on the floor.

Enrique was dragged away by PSG coaches, with Gianluigi Donnarumma also appearing to aggressively confront Chelsea's stars. Arguments raged with Pedro on the ground.

Donnarumma was angrily engaging with Pedro as his head coach reached around him and first connected with the Chelsea striker's throat. After failing to hang on, the ex-Barcelona boss lashed out a second time and caught Pedro again.

The 23-year-old was soon falling to the ground as more bodies entered the foray. The rivals engaged in tense conversations across the pitch as some were pulled apart and others greeted each other with stern words.

The explosion of anger seemed to be instigated as PSG star Achraf Hakimi looked to take issue with Pedro and Andrey Santos. The wing-back gestured that the duo talked to much with his hand.

The scenes followed a dominant win from Chelsea who defeated PSG 3-0. Enzo Maresca's side earned victory as Cole Palmer bagged a brace before Pedro got on the scoresheet before half-time.

The French side struggled to lay a glove on their west London opponents as they failed to build on their Champions League win. And temperatures boiled over when the final whistle went in the United States.

Enrique was also kept apart from Chelsea boss Maresca before the furious scenes diminished. But the actions will have done little to dispel Chelsea joy as they put their hands on a second trophy of the season having earlier won the Conference League.

"It's a great feeling," said Palmer following the match. "Even better because everyone doubted us before the game, we knew that. To put a fight on like we did, it's good."

Asked about his manager, Palmer added: "The gaffer put a great game-plan out He knew where the space was going to be. He tried to free me up as much as possible and I just had to repay him and score some goals.

"He is building something special, something important. Everyone has talked a lot of s*** about us all season but I feel like we are going in the right direction."

Maresca was proud of the display his players produced. "I have no words for the players. They all deserve this and it's a good moment," he said.

"For me, we won the game in the first 10 minutes. We set the tempo and we were very good at pressing them.“Unfortunately with the weather conditions, it is not easy to continue for 90 minutes, but I think we won the game in the first 10 minutes.”

Donald Trump, who was watching the game alongside FIFA president Gianni Infantino and handed the trophy to Chelsea's celebrating players post-match said: "This is a bit of an upset we've watched today."

Maresca says his players will receive three weeks of holiday before they face Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan at Stamford Bridge in a mini-tournament, beginning on August 8. They face Crystal Palace in their Premier League opener on August 17.
