PSG Baas Luis Enrique explained why he hit Joao Pedro after Chelsea's Club World Cup Triumph.
A massive fight broke out after the 3-0 victory, which also included clashes between goalkeepers Colmer and Joao Pedro and PSG's Fabian Ruiz.
Tempers flared up and reached the boiling point at the last whistle, with players pushing and pushing.
Both managers became involved after Achraf Hakimi, Andrey Santos and Christopher Nunku were entangled in the Melee.
Pedro confronted Baas Enrique who reacted furiously and seemed to hit the Brazilian.
PSG keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma followed with a push and Pedro fell to the floor.
Enrique has since claimed that he tried to make the situation harmless, whereby his opposite song Enzo Maresca actually left his players away.
The PSG boss explained his actions and said: “At the end of the game there is a situation that I think is completely avoidable by everyone.
“My goal and intention, as always, is to try to separate the players so that there are no more problems. Avoidable situation.
“There is a lot of tension, a lot of pressure and from there there is a series of pushs of many people I think we should all avoid and that should not happen again.
“But I repeat, my intention, as always, to avoid every situation that goes on.”
The incident came after PSG -midfielder Joao Neves lost his cool and pulled the hair from Marc Cucurella, which resulted in a red card in the 85th minute.
