- Enrique avoids FIFA sanction
- Joao Pedro attack unpunished
- PSG relieved over outcome
وفق مثل لويس إنريكي will not face any disciplinary action for grabbing تشيلسي striker Joao Pedro by the throat after PSG’s heated Club كأس العالم final defeat. The FIFA Disciplinary Committee initially looked into the incident but chose not to refer the case further, leaving the Spaniard clear of any ban or fine. Enrique had expressed regret over the flashpoint, which dominated post-match headlines.
FIFA’s decision stands in stark contrast to the punishment handed to Joao Neves, who was suspended for two matches after pulling Marc Cucurella’s hair in the same final. The contrasting outcomes highlight the governing body’s inconsistent approach to player and coach discipline. For Les Parisiens, the development comes as a relief, with no disruption to Enrique’s role on the touchline.
Reports claim FIFA did not notify the 55-year-old of any proceedings, effectively closing the case without requiring a formal response from PSG or their manager. A potential two-game ban for “unsportsmanlike conduct” and financial penalty had been on the table, but the governing body seemingly shelved the matter amid other priorities.
With the case dropped, PSG and Enrique will move on from the incident and focus fully on their campaign. The French giants remain intent on maintaining momentum in الدوري الفرنسي 1 و ال دوري أبطال أوروبا, while Enrique can now avoid the distraction of a disciplinary battle.
