Le Parisien reported that Paris Saint-Germain was 0-3 in the Club World Cup final. When the game reached the 84th minute, Portuguese midfielder Joao Neves was sent off with a red card for pulling his opponent Mark Cucurella's hair. Although referee Alireza Fagani initially showed only yellow cards, he was eventually changed to a red card after VAR intervened.

This penalty may have an impact on the team's future games. According to Article 69.2 C of FIFA Code of Discipline, O'Neves may miss the next game of Paris Saint-Germain, the UEFA Super Cup against Tottenham on August 13, 2025.

In addition, Paris coach Luis Enrique lost control after the game and slapped Joao Pedro, Kimpembé and Donaluma to try to stop him. Although the referee did not show him a red card on the spot, Enrique admitted that his actions were "avoidable", which could lead to subsequent punishments for FIFA. At present, FIFA has not issued a statement on the matter.
