Donald Trump savaged for 'ruining Chelsea moment' in Club World Cup final
Football enthusiasts have blasted US President Donald Trump for overshadowing Chelsea's Club World Cup triumph by joining them on stage during their victory moment. Chelsea were crowned world champions following a stunning 3-0 victory over Champions League holders PSG, with Cole Palmer netting twice and Joao Pedro adding another. Enzo Maresca's squad put on a formidable display to defeat the tournament favourites, who had previously demolished Inter Milan 5-0 in the Champions League final and crushed Real Madrid 4-0 in the semi-finals of this event. And as Chelsea players made their way to the stage to lift their trophy and enjoy a moment for the history books, President Trump decided to join them for their celebrations. The 79-year-old was present to hand over the trophy to captain Reece James - as well as giving the Golden Glove award to Robert Sanchez - but was supposed to leave the stage after carrying out his duties, with even FIFA president Gianni Infantino persuading him to step away. But Trump simply stood there and smiled as baffled Chelsea players muttered some words to him - with man of the match Palmer appearing to say: "What's he doing?" Fans weren't impressed after the game as one wrote on Twitter : "Ruined the moment. Pictures of them lifting the CWC will always show Trump." Another called Trump "the least respectful president in modern history", adding: "Infantino was clearly trying to get him off the field, but he hijacked the moment and didn't let Chelsea's players enjoy their victory." A third fan added: "Trump ruining the moment for Chelsea by making it about him and standing in front of Cole Palmer... classic." Palmer was clearly irked by Trump's presence on stage and was asked about the outspoken politician after the game. He said: "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, so I was a bit confused." Captain James added: "I wasn't expecting him to lift the trophy with us, but I guess it shows just how big the tournament is. He just congratulated me and the team and told us to enjoy the moment."

Rory McIlroy's X-rated assessment of Scottish Open greens after Gotterup's win
Rory McIlroy didn't mince words about the North Berwick greens following a missed putt at the Scottish Open. The Northern Irish golfer clinched a second-place finish on Sunday, although he couldn't help but express his dissatisfaction with the playing conditions during his round. "The greens are so s***," he blurted out after watching his putt drift away at the Renaissance Club. Yet this didn't undermine what was generally a solid performance, as McIlroy now looks ahead to the Open in Portrush just around the corner. The 36 year old narrowly missed the top spot by two strokes to American competitor Chris Gotterup. Heading into the final day tied for first place, McIlroy didn't manage to capitalise on his position while other golfers, such as Mike Penge and Matt Fitzpatrick, had their turns leading during the day's play. Gotterup earned one of the final spots at the Open, along with Nicolai Hojgaard after finishing fourth with Fitzpatrick. Despite failing to convert a win, McIlroy was happy with his performance in Scotland. And the Masters champion was heading immediately to Portrush as he goes in search of another major. "It's been a great week," said McIlroy. "I'm really happy with where my game is; the way I played over the weekend; the shots that I hit, how I controlled my ball flight. "It has been a great week. Missing the trophy, that's about it. "No frustration. I'm really happy with where everything is. Looking forward to getting to Portrush tonight and getting out on to the golf course early tomorrow and just turning my attention to that. "But I feel like I've gotten out of this week everything that I wanted. I feel like my game got a little better each and every day. Everything is in a really good spot." Gotterup, 25, meanwhile was very pleased with his performance and was happy to compete with McIlroy throughout the day. "Amazing. It's all hitting me. It's just so cool," said "I played really well this week. I knew today was going to be tough and I hung in there like a champ and finished it off in style. "I felt pretty good, shockingly, on the first tee today, I felt comfortable. I knew I was playing well this week and I felt like I was ready for the challenge. "That's why I practise and that's why I play, to play against the best. It was a pleasure to be out there with [McIlroy] and obviously all the support that he gets is amazing, but it was nice to kind of ruin that a little bit."
