PSG boss Luis Enrique is at a loss to explain their 3-0 defeat to Chelsea in the Club World Cup final.  

The Champions League winners were in fine form throughout the competition, and demolished Real Madrid 4-0 in the semis.  

However, they were outclassed by the Blues in the finale, with Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro scoring Chelsea goals.

Meanwhile, reports say FIFA could hand a lengthy ban to Enrique for his part in a mass brawl that erupted between PSG and Chelsea players after the final.  

He's accused of pushing Chelsea's Joao Pedro during the altercation.
