PSG coach's regret after post-final scuffle
The incident erupted when PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was arguing with Joao Pedro, before Luis Enrique appeared to raise his hands to the Brazilian's face.
Joao Pedro hit the deck and the PSG manager was quietly escorted away in remarkable scenes that saw players from both sides clash.
"At the end of the match, there was a situation that I believe could have been avoided by everyone," Luis Enrique said at a press conference after the match.
"My objective and my intention, as always, is to try to win over the players so that there are no more problems. Internally, there is a lot of tension, a lot of pressure."
The Spanish coach acknowledged the severity of the incident, adding: "And from there, there is a series of shoves from a lot of people, which I think we should all avoid and which should not happen again."
When it came to the match, however, he was left without answers after a brutal thrashing by Chelsea in a clash of European football's most powerful and richest clubs.
It was a surprise lopsided affair as Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer poured in two goals in eight minutes in the first half and assisted striker Joao Pedro in another score before the break.
Fans expected much more from the European Cup and French league champions that had once appeared unstoppable, cruising past Real Madrid 4-0 in the semi-final stage of the expanded, 32-team tournament.
They finished the match with 10 men after Joao Neves was shown a red card in the 85th minute for violent conduct.
"Football - that's the way it is. Can't explain everything," said Luis Enrique.
"I believe they actually started the game really, really well with a lot of pressure and we gave them a hard time. And then after that I believe they had opportunities to score but it didn't happen."

AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri and Mike Maignan excited for pre-season friendly with Perth Glory
Perth is turning red and black as European soccer giants AC Milan are making their presence felt ahead of their second game in WA in as many years. The Italian powerhouse have landed in WA off the back of two high-profile pre-season clashes with Arsenal and Liverpool in Asia, and will face Perth Glory on Thursday night at HBF Park. It follows on from Milan's previous trip to Perth, which saw them face fellow Italian side AS Roma in front of more than 56,000 people at Optus Stadium last May. The Italians have brought several star names down under, including American ace Christian Pulisic, talismanic Portugese forward Rafael Leao and internationally-capped Englishmen Fikayo Tomori and Ruben Loftus-Cheek. With Deputy Premier Rita Saffioti spruiking Thursday's match against the Glory as a near sell-out, coach Massimiliano Allegri and captain Mike Maignan spoke of their excitement at finishing off their Asia-Pacific tour in style. Allegri, said he had appreciated the warm reception from fans in WA, who lined the Crown Towers lobby on Sunday night to greet the club upon arrival. 'I'm honored to represent AC Milan for the first time in Western Australia and in Australia generally,' Allegri said via an interpreter. 'I recognise the huge following that AC Milan has across this country, and I'm looking forward to not only the game on Thursday night, but everything that surrounds it.' Maignan, who has established himself as the French international team's no.1 goalkeeper, said through an interpreter he was looking forward to playing the Glory. 'I'm very honoured to lead my team into Perth and Western Australia. I'm very proud of his club, and I'm looking forward to showing not only what Italian football is on the park, but the culture and everything else that's around AC Milan,' he said. Players from the club also visited Perth Children's Hospital on Monday to greet young fans.

AC Milan in WA: Visiting coach gives thumbs-up to proposed Serie A game featuring Italian giants in Perth
AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri says he would be proud to be part of a proposed world-first Serie A game featuring the Italian giants in Perth. It came as the State Government vowed to continue aggressively pursuing high-profile matches to reinforce Perth's reputation as a destination for major sporting events. Seven-time European champions Milan, one of the world's biggest sporting clubs, will play a friendly against Perth Glory at HBF Park. But Thursday night's match will be played against a backdrop of intrigue surrounding a proposal which would see Perth host a historic game which could have global ramifications for the sport. Earlier this month, the Italian Football Federation approved a request by the league for Milan's Serie A clash with Como to be played in Perth in February. With Milan's famed San Siro Stadium out of action for a month early next year as it gets ready to host the 2026 Winter Olympic opening ceremony, the club has had to look elsewhere for a venue — and Optus Stadium could be their destination. If the match goes ahead, it will mark the first time a major European league has played a competitive league game on foreign soil. Speaking via an interpreter, Allegri, who is set for his first season back with the club he won Serie A with in 2011, said he would be thrilled to be part of such an event. 'I'd be very proud, if all the other sanctioning comes through and to be a part of such a historic event, it will change the landscape of world football,' he said. However, the plan still requires layers of approvals from numerous parties, including world governing body FIFA, European governing body UEFA, the Asian Football Confederation and Football Australia. 'This is still something very much a work in progress, but the aspiration to have such a game is very much something we're pursuing,' said deputy premier Rita Saffioti. 'There are a number of hurdles, and that includes of course, a tick off from many organisations. We have a very big aspiration, it would be the first time in the world, but there's a lot of hurdles. 'I'm very much working with everyone involved, how we can do our best to give it our best shot, but it's a work in progress. If Perth's proposed Serie A game is greenlit by the necessary authorities, it could open the floodgates for rival leagues to investigate playing matches abroad. FIFA has previously been against the idea of allowing clubs to move league fixtures internationally, but last year created a working group to review its policy about domestic games abroad. Spain's La Liga publicly floated the idea of playing a match between heavyweights Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in Miami in 2024, before delaying their plan and promising to revisit it. The Supercoppa Italiana, an annual cup tournament involving the previous season's Serie A and Coppa Italia winners and runners-up, currently takes place in Saudi Arabia. If approved, the proposed Serie A match in Perth would mark AC Milan's third visit to WA in less than 18 months, following their post-season friendly against fellow Italian giants AS Roma last May. The clash with Roma drew 56,522 fans to Optus Stadium, but importantly also allowed the State Government to establish a strong relationship with Milan. 'They really enjoyed their time here last year, and in particular, their ability to move around and see parts of our city in a safe way,' Saffioti said. 'Sometimes we undersell what we have in Western Australia; they're staying here in this incredible hotel (Crown Towers), they can basically walk around the river in a very safe way. 'Their training facility is just 15 minutes away and Sam Kerr (Football) Centre is one of the newest football centres in the nation. 'Getting to HBF Park is not a long way away. It's another 10-15 minutes, we offer some really good have a lot of really great sporting infrastructure,'' she said.
