Chelsea forward Joao Pedro has hit out at Paris Saint-Germain, branding them “bad losers” following his team’s dominant 3-0 victory in the FIFA Club World Cup final on Sunday night.
Pedro, who scored in the final alongside Cole Palmer, claimed he was shoved to the ground while trying to defend his teammates after the final whistle.
The match ended in controversy as tempers flared. Pedro clashed with PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma during the post-match scuffle, which also saw PSG boss Luis Enrique get involved. At one point, Enrique appeared to strike Pedro, knocking the Chelsea star to the turf.
