Luis Enrique breaks silence on apparent 'SLAP' on Joao Pedro after PSG beat Chelsea in Club World Cup final

PSG boss Luis Enrique has looked to explain his role in a full-time scuffle after his side lost to Chelsea in the Club World Cup final.

After the final whistle, players and coaches from both sides came together in an altercation with Enrique also involved.

During the melee, Enrique appeared to use his hand to make contact with new Chelsea signing Joao Pedro in what some have termed a slap.

Pedro hit the deck, with PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma in close proximity.

Enrique subsequently looked to explain his actions, saying he was trying to act as a peacekeeper.
