Chelsea Win FIFA Club World Cup: President Trump Presents Trophy

Chelsea have thrashed European champions Paris Saint-Germain to win FIFA’s Club World Cup – with Donald Trump joining the players at the trophy presentation.

The US president gave the Chelsea players their winners’ medals and the Club World Cup trophy following the final at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Mr Trump also gave PSG their runners-up medals.

The French side were the heavy favourites to win the final but were 3-0 down within 43 minutes.

They eventually finished the game with 10 men after midfielder Joao Neves pulled Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella’s hair in the 85th minute.

Chelsea talisman Cole Palmer had scored almost identical finishes in the 22nd and 30th minute to give the West London side a two-goal advantage a third of the way through the tie.

The England international later played a neat pass to Brazilian forward Joao Pedro – who lifted the ball over PSG keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma to give the Blues a three-goal advantage just before half-time.

Goalscorer Pedro received a standing ovation from the Chelsea fans as he was replaced by Liam Delap on the 67th minute.

Following the final whistle, players from both sides appeared to be involved in a large altercation on the pitch.

PSG coach Luis Enrique appeared to grab at Pedro’s neck while he and Donnarumma confronted Chelsea players.
