Paris Saint-Germain head coach Luis Enrique appeared to strike Chelsea forward Joao Pedro in the aftermath of the Blues being crowned Club World Cup champions. The fierce clash was tipping towards boiling point in New York before tempers boiled over after the full-time whistle.
There was a mass confrontation in the centre circle as Chelsea players and staff flooded the pitch to celebrate the achievement. However, television cameras appeared to pick up the Champions League-winning tactician lash out at the new Stamford Bridge hero, leaving Pedro in a heap.
The tension spilt over with PSG heading towards a rare defeat after Chelsea denied them an unprecedented trophy haul after winning Ligue 1, both domestic cups and the elite European competition.
Joao Neves was shown a straight red card during normal time after referee Alireza Faghani brandished a straight red card for the Portuguese starlet, after the 20-year-old appeared to pull Marc Cucurella's hair with the official sending him off after a VAR review.
