PSG manager Luis Enrique has come out to say that he never pushed João Pedro to the ground during their post-match scuffle. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he was only trying to separate PSG and Chelsea players during the brawl at the stadium, and he’ll be the first to admit that the scuffle was not the best.
He added that PSG players cannot be described as losers for losing the final because a loser is somebody who gives up.
His words, “I have no problem expressing my feeling at the end of the game in a high level of pressure. It’s very stressful for all of us. It is going to be impossible to avoid that.
Everybody was involved. It was not what was best and the end result of the pressure of the match.
I have seen [Chelsea coach Enzo] Maresca. I saw he had pushed others and we had to separate all the players and I do not know where that pressure came from.
But this is a situation we must all avoid. That goes without saying. My intention is that I wanted to separate the footballers, so the situations didn’t become worse.
We are not losers, there are no losers.We are the runners-up. A loser is somebody who gives up. In this high level of sport there are no losers whatsoever.”
WOW.
Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London. Founded in 1905, they play their home games at Stamford Bridge.
The club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football. They won their first major honour, the League championship, in 1955. The club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.
On 7 May 2022, Chelsea confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. The group was later known as BlueCo.
The UK government approved the £4.25bn takeover, ending Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club. Bruce Buck, who served as chairman since 2003, was replaced by Boehly, while long-serving club director and de facto sporting director Marina Granovskaia left, as did Petr Čech from the role of technical and performance advisor.
