Luis Enrique and Joao Neves still unsure of the possible punishment after their bad actions against Chelsea

Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique, who grabbed Chelsea striker Joao Pedro after the 3-0 defeat in the Club World Cup final, and Joao Neves, who was sent off with a red card, could be punished.

What are the risks for Luis Enrique, who attacked Joao Pedro after the final whistle, or Joao Neves, who was sent off in the 86th minute for pulling Marc Cucurella's hair , and their attitude at the end of Sunday's match? The disciplinary sanctions imposed by the Club World Cup were not expected to be followed up in other club or international competitions. FIFA was more cautious after the final.

Based on the officials' reports, including the referee's, the world body's disciplinary committee will decide whether or not to open an investigation in the coming days. If so, sanctions would then be possible, with a very broad range, from fines to suspension. And if it so wishes, it could, in the event of a suspension, request to extend it to other club or national team competitions. But as of Monday, it was still too early to know what FIFA would decide.
