Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique seems to be off to avoid any sanction for his alleged slap inflicted on the Chelsea Joao Pedro striker during the Club World Cup.
According to the team, FIFA has not yet opened an official investigation concerning Luis Enrique concerning its alleged slap inflicted on Pedro at the Club World Cup. The Blues beat the Parisian giants 3-0 in the final and, after the match, the tension rose from a notch, in the same time having grasped Pedro by the throat. The Brazilian was screened on the ground, but it now seems that the Spaniard got away.
