Joao Pedro has officially lodged a complaint with FIFA against PSG manager Luis Enrique following their heated clash after Chelsea’s 3-0 Club World Cup final victory. The situation has now escalated, with Chelsea owner Todd Boehly and FIFA president Gianni Infantino both stepping in to address the matter.
Pedro, frustrated by Enrique’s post-match conduct, reportedly told FIFA officials, “This concerns the conduct of a manager, not just a club. FIFA must ensure justice is served.” This statement has reportedly stunned both parties involved and signals FIFA’s commitment to handling the issue seriously.
FIFA Investigation Underway

Fan Reactions Divided
The incident has ignited widespread debate on social media. Some fans have praised Pedro for standing up to what they see as unacceptable behavior, while others believe the complaint may have been made in the heat of the moment rather than based on clear misconduct.
Broader Implications
The controversy has overshadowed the match itself, raising important discussions around professionalism and accountability in football. With FIFA now involved and public scrutiny mounting, the football world will be watching closely as this developing saga unfolds.
