Revealed: Chelsea's extra motivation for winning the Club World Cup final after PSG's over-confident antics before the match
Chelsea were given a little something extra to fight for ahead of their Club World Cup final triumph over Paris Saint-Germain, a new report has revealed. The Blues outclassed the European champions last week to win 3-0 and become the first side to lift the Club World Cup in its revamped 32-team format. Enzo Maresca 's side were relentless from the first whistle in New Jersey, scoring all three before half-time and putting the game well out of reach; PSG looked a far cry from their usual selves which saw them win the treble last season. And now, it can be revealed what triggered that added motivation in the Chelsea camp. On the eve of the final, at a FIFA-organised dinner involving both clubs, Chelsea's delegation noticed how occupied PSG's representatives were with discussing the logistics of their trophy celebration. The Parisians were preoccupied with how and where they would collect the trophy, according to The Times. PSG's people were reportedly preoccupied with how and where they would collect the trophy Maresca was informed of this over-confidence and passed the information onto the players, who seemingly took it to heart. But tensions between the clubs did not stop at full-time, with a heated post-match clash between following the result. PSG boss Luis Enrique appeared to strike Chelsea striker Joao Pedro in the face during a confrontation. Pedro was initially embroiled in a conflict with Gianluigi Donnarumma and Achraf Hakimi - with Andrey Santos also on the scene - before Enrique marched over towards the situation. But rather than defusing the situation, the Spanish manager made it physical, laying his hands on Pedro before being held back by his own player Presnel Kimpembe. Pedro fell to the floor in dramatic fashion, clutching at his face. Christopher Nkunku and Romeo Lavia stepped in to defend their team-mate, holding back a visibly frustrated Gianluigi Donnarumma, who appeared to berate Pedro for his animated reaction. What followed was pandemonium, with around five Chelsea players swarming Donnarumma in the aftermath. The PSG goalkeeper was shoved by Tosin Adarabioyo, as Kimpembe continued his attempts to defuse tensions alongside Chelsea's Filip Jorgensen. Pedro eventually got back to his feet, only to find himself at the centre of a chaotic melee involving too many bodies to count. On the touchline, a furious Enzo Maresca stormed in to drag his players away, shouting at those involved as he tried to restore order. The Chelsea boss was also seen pulling Donnarumma aside, attempting to calm his fellow Italian in a bid to defuse the flare-up. The chaotic scenes followed a match that saw six yellow cards shared between the two sides, and a red card for PSG midfielder Joao Neves, who was sent off in the 85th minute for violent conduct. Speaking on the incident, Enrique said: 'This was completely avoidable at the end, my goal was always to separate footballers, there was a lot of tension and pressure, there was a whole bunch of pushing that we should all try to avoid. My intention is to avoid it getting worse.'

Teen paralyzed in shooting graduates from Hialeah-Miami Lakes Senior High School: "Just happy, man"
Just five weeks after being paralyzed in a shooting outside his home, the 18-year-old proudly rolled across the graduation stage in his wheelchair Tuesday night during a ceremony at the Ocean Bank Convention Center on the Florida International University campus. Milestone in Johnson's life The moment marked a milestone Nehemiah Johnson and his family feared might not come. What was almost a tragedy became a moment of triumph and testimony. Johnson, who had been hospitalized at Jackson Memorial Hospital after being shot outside his Northwest Miami-Dade home on April 21, accepted his diploma from Hialeah-Miami Lakes Senior High School to cheers and support from the crowd. When asked how he felt about getting his diploma, Johnson said, "That's my goal. Feeling real good for that." Before the shooting, Johnson had been the captain of the varsity basketball team and had enlisted in the U.S. Marines. Reflecting on the past few months, Johnson shared the emotional toll the experience has taken. "For these last couple months, it's been a little up and down, but I'm feeling real blessed and happy to be here," he said. When asked about the future, Johnson shared that while the Marines had been the plan, things have shifted. "Things change. So I'm trying to go to college now. I'm trying to stay offbeat," he said. "I'm just going with the flow and seeing what things take me." Surrounded by friends, family and coaches, Johnson said, "I feel real good. It's a lot of, it's a lot of support everywhere, friends, family, my coaches. I'm just happy, man." A mother's gratitude and hope His mother, Naytalia, expressed her overwhelming gratitude and pride. "I feel good about it. I'm thankful and grateful that he's here for graduation, and we're very thankful that he's here today," she said. "Bright future, we hope still, yes, still bright future. He's planning to go to college. He got some options open, so yeah." She added, "We're just feeling amazed. Uh, we're thankful for them, thinking about him, the heat, thinking about him, the school thinking about him. I'm thankful for my pastor. He's been with us every step of the way. Um, we're just grateful. We're grateful." "We're not at a funeral. We're at a graduation." Pastor Jackson Smith, who's been closely supporting the family, said the night was nothing short of a blessing. "Super proud, super proud, super grateful that we're not at a funeral, we're at a graduation, and day by day, he's getting better. And we know that all his dreams are going to come true, and this is just the start of what God is going to do," Smith said. Case remains unsolved The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office said the shooting occurred at 10:51 p.m. on April 21 near N.W. 28th Avenue and 87th Terrace. Johnson's mother believes it was a case of mistaken identity. She said her son was shot while cleaning out her car. There are still no new leads in the case. When asked about justice, Johnson said, "Yeah, yes, I'm. I'm not too rare about who shot me. I'm just running about hitting that's it." Anyone with information is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at (305) 471-TIPS (8477).
