(Kevin Lamarque/Pool Photo via AP) Chelsea defeated Paris Saint-Germain in style on Sunday as the 32-team edition of the Club World Cup came to a close. Two goals from main man Cole Palmer and another from their summer signing João Pedro meant that Enzo Maresca's side prevailed in the final.

Boos and cheers greet US President Trump at Club World Cup final
US President Donald Trump received a mixed reception at the FIFA Club World Cup final on Sunday, with both boos and cheers echoing through MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The Republican leader attended the event alongside First Lady Melania Trump , drawing applause upon arrival. However, as he stepped onto the pitch with FIFA President Gianni Infantino for the trophy presentation, a wave of audible boos could be heard - prompting the stadium to raise the volume of its music. — LucasSa56947288 (@LucasSa56947288) by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Quote Undo Despite the polarizing reaction, Trump appeared in high spirits as he joined Chelsea's post-match celebrations.

The president also handed medals to runners-up Paris Saint-Germain . — tariqtramboo (@tariqtramboo) Earlier, when Trump was shown saluting during the US national anthem, more boos were heard, and the big screen quickly cut away. Still, the criticism did little to affect Trump's mood. "We had a great time," he told reporters after returning to Washington, calling the crowd 'tremendous'. Live Events Trump's appearance coincided with the one-year anniversary of an assassination attempt he survived during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. He has since leaned heavily into using major sporting events - including this year's Club World Cup and next year's 2026 FIFA World Cup - as emblems of a 'Golden Age of America' during his second presidential term. The 2026 final will also be held at MetLife Stadium and coincide with the 250th anniversary of American independence, for which Trump has formed a dedicated White House task force.
