EAST RUTHERFORD: President Donald Trump on Sunday marked the one-year anniversary of a failed attempt on his life, joining family, friends and close advisers to witness Chelsea's dominating FIFA Club World Cup final victory over Paris Saint-Germain. The president joined the players on the field after the match to congratulate the tournament's outstanding performers, present PSG players with their runner-up medals and hand Chelsea their championship trophy. "It was an upset today I guess," Trump told reporters after flying back to Washington following Chelsea's victory. "But it was a great match." Trump and first lady Melania Trump were greeted with cheers as they arrived at MetLife Stadium just ahead of the pre-match performance by musical artists Robbie Williams and Laura Pausini. And the president got a smattering of boos when he was briefly shown on the stadium's mega-screen. The president waved to the crowd and pumped his fist as he and his entourage arrived at the stadium luxury box, where they took in the match with FIFA President Gianni Infantino and his wife, Leena Al Ashqar. Other guests spotted in the president's suite included Attorney General Pam Bondi, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, NFL great Tom Brady and media mogul Rupert Murdoch. MetLife in a little over a year will host the 2026 World Cup final.

FIFA Club World Cup: Cole Palmer shines as Chelsea crush PSG 3-0 to win title
Chelsea's Reece James lifts the trophy as President Donald Trump looks on following the Club World Cup final (AP Photo/Seth Wenig) Chelsea secured a decisive 3-0 victory against Paris Saint-Germain in the expanded Club World Cup final at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday, with Cole Palmer scoring twice and assisting João Pedro for another goal in a dominant first-half performance. Palmer netted two similar left-footed goals from inside the penalty area in the 22nd and 30th minutes, showcasing his impressive form this season with 18 goals total. He then provided a precise through pass to João Pedro, who chipped the ball over goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma in the 43rd minute. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The match drew a tournament-high crowd of 81,188, including U.S. President Donald Trump, who faced boos during the postgame awards ceremony before presenting the trophy alongside FIFA president Gianni Infantino to Chelsea captain Reece James. The victory marked Chelsea's second Club World Cup title, following their 2021 triumph when the tournament featured seven teams. The Blues earned between $128,435,000 and $153,815,000 in prize money, with the final amount depending on FIFA's undisclosed participation fee. PSG's hopes for a quadruple were dashed, having previously won Ligue 1, the Coupe de France, and their first Champions League title. The defeat marked their worst loss since a 4-1 Champions League setback against Newcastle in October 2023. The game's turning point came in the 22nd minute when goalkeeper Robert Sánchez's long kick was mishandled by Nuno Mendes. Malo Gusto's subsequent shot was blocked by Lucas Beraldo before Palmer capitalized on the rebound. Poll Should PSG reconsider their strategy after this loss? Yes, major changes needed No, they just had a bad game Only minor adjustments required Tensions escalated late in the match when João Neves received a red card in the 84th minute for pulling Marc Cucurella's hair. The game concluded with a confrontation involving PSG coach Luis Enrique and Donnarumma pushing João Pedro near the center circle. "It's a great feeling. Even better because obviously everyone doubted us before the game. The gaffer put a great gameplan out and obviously, he knew where the space was going to be," Palmer said after the match. PSG coach Luis Enrique acknowledged Chelsea's superiority through a translator: "They had a lot of energy. I believe they were actually better than we were." Chelsea, who finished fourth in the Premier League and won the UEFA Conference League, demonstrated superior energy throughout the match, benefiting from an extra day of rest following their semifinal compared to PSG. PSG entered the match as heavy favorites, having outscored opponents 16-1 in previous matches, but struggled to maintain their defensive record, which had included 436 minutes without conceding before Palmer's opening goal. Palmer, who joined Chelsea from Manchester City two years ago at age 23, continued his exceptional season with another stellar performance. His second goal came from a well-timed run onto Levi Colwill's long ball, followed by a skillful cut inside before finishing. The match featured six yellow cards in addition to the red card, reflecting the intense nature of the competition between these European powerhouses.
