Sunday evening, the tension was palpable after the final of the club World Cup, marked by two incidents which could have disciplinary follow -up. Luis Enrique, PSG coach, prevailed against Joao Pedro at the final whistle, while Joao Neves was expelled in the 86th minute for pulling Marc Cucurella's hair. If, in principle, the sanctions imposed in this competition do not automatically extend to the other clubs of clubs or selections, FIFA indicated that it was cautious before deciding on possible suites.
The disciplinary committee of the worldwide body must now look at the reports of officials, in particular that of the arbitrator, before deciding if an instruction will be open. If a procedure is launched, the sanctions could range from a simple fine to a suspension, with the possibility, if FIFA wishes, to widen the possible sanction to other competitions. But this Monday, no decision had yet been made, leaving the uncertainty over the fate of the two protagonists.
