Marc Cucurella has revealed an unusual and unexpected moment from Chelsea’s Club World Cup victory celebrations, where Donald Trump, who presented the trophy after the 3-0 win over PSG, refused to leave the stage.Speaking to Jijantes FC, Cucurella explained:
“We were all standing and waiting for him to leave, but he just looked at us and said: ‘Lift the trophy, I’m staying here.’ And who was going to say anything to him? Honestly, I was scared.”
The Chelsea squad, having dominated the final with Cole Palmer’s brace and Joao Pedro’s goal, were left bemused as Trump stood by, watching the trophy lift from close quarters. The bizarre scene added to an already memorable night for the club, sealing their world champion status in emphatic fashion.
Trump’s unexpected presence on the podium has since gone viral, with fans and media highlighting the awkward but humorous nature of the moment.
