Club World Cup final between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain had everything: surprises (nobody expected Chelsea to best the European Champions, certainly not in the way they did), plenty of drama (Neves pulling Cucurella's hair, a brawl at the end involving Luis Enrique)... and, as always, plenty of memes.
Many of them involved a scene that involved Donald Trump, who "photobombed" the moment when Chelsea captain Reece James lifted the cup... with the president of the United States right by his left. Cameras captured how Gianni Infantino, FIFA president, tried to have Trump moved to the side, to no effect.

Now, forever in Chelsea's history books, the photo of the club lifting the Club World Cup will forever be marked by having Donald Trump in the centre of it.
His thirst to be the protagonist, one year after the failed assassination attempt, permeated everything, as he was also involved in the handing of medals for both clubs. His appearances on the TV screens at the MetLife stadium were met with a mix of applauses and boos, setting the stage for World Cup in the summer of 2026, held between the US, Mexico, and Canada, with concerns about the peaceful celebration of a championship that will bring thousands of foreign visitors to the country.
