EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ — For all the winning that Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has done over the last 100 days, it appears their manager, Luis Enrique, has forgotten to lose gracefully.
Following Chelsea’s 3-0 upset drubbing of the powerhouse PSG — who had won Ligue 1, the Coupe de France, and the UEFA Champions League between April and May — Enrique, the Parisians’ manager, hit Chelsea star Joao Pedro in the face while trying to grab him by the throat, which sparked a post-match melee at midfield.
Pedro, Chelsea’s newest signing from Brighton, who scored twice in the semifinal against Fluminense before adding the coup de grace in the 43rd, hit the pitch in pain, though he clearly made a meal of it.

Enrique was restrained by members of his club while his goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, was surrounded by blue Chelsea shirts.
The sides were separated before the trophy presentation, which included Chelsea giving PSG a guard of honor as they received their runner-up medals.
