There were several discussing points during the aftermath of Chelsea’s triumph, and one of them was Donald Trump’s willingness to grab the spotlight.
Pedro and Luis Enrique was involved in an ugly brawl after the game, and it appeared that the PSG boss had slapped him.

Meanwhile, Trump, who handed the trophy to the Chelsea skipper, was unwilling to leave the podium as Reece James lifted the Club World Cup trophy after his side’s victory.
James and Palmer were left confused as to why Trump was there on the podium.
Footage has emerged showing FIFA President Gianni Infantino attempting to guide Trump away from the celebrations but ultimately failing to do so.
James said after the game: “To be honest, it was quite loud. I couldn’t hear too much. He just congratulated me and the team for lifting the trophy and told us to enjoy the moment.”
Cole Palmer added: “I knew he was going to be here but I didn’t know he was going to be on the stand when we lifted the trophy. I was a bit confused, yeah.”
