- Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella has spoken about his on-pitch altercation with West Ham's Adama Traore during Chelsea's 3-2 Premier League victory.
- The clash occurred late in the match when Traore threw Cucurella off the pitch, prompting Chelsea teammate Joao Pedro to intervene, which sparked a 22-man brawl.
- The incident led to several bookings and a red card for West Ham's Jean-Clair Todibo for grabbing Joao Pedro by the throat.
- Cucurella admitted he intentionally tried to provoke Traore and jokingly stated that Joao Pedro 'saved his life' by stepping in.
- Traore later joined Cucurella on Catalan TV 3Cat, explaining the incident was 'nothing personal' and 'in the heat of the moment', with both players clearing the air.
