In the middle of the cup ceremony, Donald Trump robs the Chelsea stars of their celebratory triumph

In the middle of the cup ceremony, Donald Trump robs the Chelsea stars of their celebratory triumph

Chelsea FC has just impressively won the Club World Cup final against PSG, but someone else is stealing the spotlight: US President Donald Trump.

At the ceremonial trophy presentation, someone else steals the spotlight: US President Donald Trump.

Then, together with Infantino, he hoisted the massive trophy toward the Chelsea team to hand it to captain Reece James. At this point, the US President's task is essentially complete.

Whether it's soccer, Formula 1, or football, the procedure and etiquette in these moments are always the same. As soon as the trophy is in the hands of the winner, you should quickly get out of sight. The moment belongs to the players!

Infantino knows this and turns away. When he notices that Trump isn't following him, he tries to lure him in his direction. But the US president stubbornly remains standing among the players, right in the middle of the victorious athletes celebrating their new trophy, clapping along happily. Thus, he immortalizes himself in the Londoners' victory photo.

Infantino hurries back, grinning, whispers something in Trump's ear, and discreetly pushes him into the background. It's an embarrassing scene. The TV cameras don't show where the duo disappears to.
