Donald Trump joins Chelsea on stage as they celebrate their Club World Cup win
Cole Palmer scored twice and set up another as the Blues stunned favourites Paris St Germain 3-0 in front of Trump in the final in New York. Trump, who was briefly booed by some of the 81,118 crowd at the MetLife Stadium, then presented Chelsea with the trophy alongside Gianni Infantino, president of world governing body FIFA, after the game. The first ever #FIFACWC Champions. 🌟 — FIFA Club World Cup (@FIFACWC) July 13, 2025 After handing the silverware to Chelsea captain Reece James, Trump was then invited to move out of the way by Infantino. However, he remained in position as James lifted the trophy and the team began their celebrations amid fireworks and confetti. Chelsea's victory, the culmination of FIFA's newly-expanded 32-team tournament, also earned them a jackpot in excess of £90million. Trump earlier said he had enjoyed the occasion, telling broadcaster DAZN at half-time: 'I am having a really great time. Tremendous sport.' In a longer recorded interview broadcast after the final whistle, the president, who revealed his favourite player of all time was Pele, added when asked about the tournament: 'It's a big thing. 'Gianni is a friend of mine, he's done such a great job with the league and with soccer – or as they would call it 'football', but I guess we call it soccer. But I'm sure that change could be made very easily. 'But it's great to watch – and this is a little bit of an upset that we're watching today, isn't it? So far. It's incredible.' When it was suggested he could make an executive order to rename the sport, Trump said with a smile: 'I think we could do that, I think I could do that.' The US leader was also asked if he could see a day when the United States, which will co-host the men's World Cup along with Canada and Mexico next summer, could dominate in football, and he replied: 'I can tell you we're doing very well on the other stage, on the political stage, on the final stage. 'I was just in Saudi Arabia, I was in Qatar, I was in UAE – here we have Qatar and the big presence – and then you look at NATO. All of the leaders said, 'A year ago, your country was dead and now you have the hottest country in the world'. There's a lot of truth in that. 'We were doing very badly as a country. We had an incompetent administration and now we have a hot country. It's really hot and I think the soccer is going to be very hot here too. 'It already is. It's gotten a lot of play and with the play comes the great players, and I think it will do very well.'

Rita Ora puts on a racy display in black lingerie look and thigh high boots as she attends event in New York
Rita Ora put on a cheeky display in black lingerie as she attended a Coveteur GRWM Event at The Tryst Pool Club in New York on Sunday. The singer, 34, showcased her incredible physique as she stepped out in a leather three-piece set, complete suspenders. She paired her racy ensemble with a pair of sheer black tights and added inches to her frame with thigh high leather boots. To accessorise, she wore two large black tooth necklaces, a set of chunky silver bracelets. She was seen in high spirits during the event as she was spotted behind a set of DJ decks entertaining fans. Later in the evening, Rita switched out of her saucy underwear and into a pink and black halterneck top to attend the Fifa World Cup between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain. She paired her silk garment with a nude low-rise figure hugging skirt which featured a gathered design down the center. Rita added inches to her petite frame as she slipped into a pair of trendy white leather boots. And the Fifa world cup was not only a celebration for Chelsea but it also saw scenes of apparent drama. The match was with a moment of drama as it ended in ugly scenes after the final whistle when PSG manager Luis Enrique appeared to get physical with a Blues player. The Blues sealed a 3-0 win - with a first-half double from Cole Palmer and a Joao Pedro strike before the break - to become the first side to lift the trophy in its revamped 32-team format. But at full-time, tensions boiled over as PSG boss Enrique appeared to strike Chelsea striker Joao Pedro in the face during a heated post-match clash between both teams. Pedro was initially embroiled in a confrontation 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. She was seen in high spirits during the event as she was spotted behind a set of DJ decks entertaining fans ScEnEs NoBoDy LiKeS tO SeE 🤪 — Men in Blazers (@MenInBlazers) July 13, 2025 Tensions boiled after the final whistle following Chelsea's 3-0 win in the Club World Cup final 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.' Despite the post-match mayhem, Chelsea fans will remember Sunday night for the right reasons. The Blues became the fifth club - and the first from England - to win multiple FIFA Club World Cup titles, joining Real Madrid (five), Barcelona (three), Bayern Munich (two), and Corinthians (two). Maresca said of his team's performance: 'I have no words for the players. They all deserve this and it's a good moment. 'For me, we won the game in the first 10 minutes. We set the tempo and we were very good at pressing them. The conditions made it hard to keep going but the boys did well. 'Of course I am very excited [about the future] but I'm more excited that we have three weeks off.'
