FIFA Prez Infantino has done a great job, says Trump after Club WC final
US President Donald Trump attended the FIFA Club World Cup final between Chelsea and Paris Saint Germain that took place at the MetLife Stadium on Monday (IST) and hailed the great work that was being done by his friend and FIFA President Gianni Infantino. Chelsea FC were crowned the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup champions after a superb performance by Cole Palmer guided the Premier League side to a resounding 3-0 final victory over ten-man Paris Saint-Germain. The FIFA Club World Cup was just the start of the footballing takeover in the Americas, with the 2026 FIFA Club World Cup set to be co-hosted by the USA, Canada and Mexico. 'It was a little bit of an upset, I guess you would say but it was a great, great match, very well played, and a tremendous crowd. 'It's a big thing and Gianni (Infantino) is a good friend of mine, he has done such a great job with soccer, or as they call football. While we were flying over the stadium, we saw it was packed, and there were lines with people waiting to get in,' Trump said to DAZN. Trump was booed loudly multiple times by the 81,118 fans at MetLife Stadium when he walked on the field for the postgame festivities. Trump distributed medals to the teams and also stood with Chelsea players while they lifted the newly introduced trophy, which also prompted criticism on social media. In a blockbuster final, Palmer scored twice in eight minutes in the opening half and then played through Joao Pedro just before the break to set up the Blues for a deserved triumph over the European champions. Chelsea finished as the top scorers in the tournament with 17 goals; one more than PSG, Manchester City and Bayern were all on 16. Luis Enrique's side, who were chasing a quadruple of major trophies during the 2024/25 campaign, were rocked by Chelsea's first-half onslaught and looked a shadow of the team who demolished Real Madrid in the semi-finals.

Victoria Beckham, his devoted wife, shared an image of David resting in bed, his arm supported by a sling. "Get well soon, Daddy," she captioned the photo, showing David with a smile on his face, donned in a hospital gown. She also crafted a friendship bracelet for him, featuring white beads spelling out 'Get Well Soon'. The specifics of what led to the former England captain's hospitalisation have not been disclosed by the couple. A person close to David revealed that Sir David had discreetly undergone surgery to mend a broken wrist from an injury dating back 22 years, incurred during a friendly match against South Africa in 2003. "It had been giving him problems recently and so he wanted to get it fixed," the source stated.

Enrique criticises pitches at FIFA Club World Cup, says ball is ‘jumping like a rabbit'
Seattle: Paris Saint Germain (PSG) head coach Luis Enrique has criticised the state of pitches at the ongoing FIFA World Cup being hosted in the United States of America saying the ball is 'bouncing like a rabbit'. PSG cruised to a 2-0 victory past home side Seattle Sounders FC to book their place in the Round of 16 at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. Despite the win, the Spaniard criticised the state of the pitch at the Lumen Field. "I wouldn't imagine a NBA court full of holes. What I really care about is the state of the field of play, and I say this on the day we've won. The ball bounces almost like if it were jumping around like a rabbit,' Enrique was quoted as saying by BBC Sport. Goals in each half from Kvicha Kvaratskhelia and Achraf Hakimi secured maximum points for the European champions, who have progressed as Group B winners ahead of second-placed Botafogo. "I'm pleased, of course. It's not easy to play this type of match. The condition of the pitch isn't the same as what we are used to in Europe. We have to know how to manage that and the pace, but I think we were better than them and deserved to win this game. This is a competition where you have to be ready to go to Atlanta, Philadelphia or even elsewhere. We plan to go as far as possible and I believe the players are ready. The real competition starts now, and it will be very tough. After each match, we have to see if we qualify or not. We're motivated,' added Enrique. The United States is also the venue for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, alongside Canada and Mexico, and will need to certainly level up the state and quality of the pitches ahead of the ultimate tournament in international football. Real Madrid and England midfielder Jude Bellingham, who won the Player of the Match award in the 3-1 win over Pachuca, also criticised the pitches and hopes they will work on them ahead of the World Cup. 'The pitches aren't great, honestly mate, I won't say really that it's hell for one (team). It's the same for everyone. I'm only saying because you asked me but the pitches aren't great at all.' 'It holds up the ball, the way the body balances, it's tough on knees as well. Hopefully, they'll look into that going into the World Cup next year. It's important we protect the players and give those fans watching a spectacle and giving them great games as well,' said Bellingham to Sky Sports.
