The Fifa president had to come move him off stage.
US president Donald Trump was front and center for Chelsea’s trophy lift and was greeted by widespread boos at the Fifa final at a sold-out MetLife Stadium on Sunday in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Trump was booed while appearing on video boards during the playing of the national anthem before the match, and then later while walking out with Fifa president Gianni Infantino to present the competition’s trophy, individual awards and runners-up medals.
Later, Trump and Infantino jointly carried the Club World Cup trophy to the Chelsea team on the stage. Infantino moved out of frame of television cameras while Trump stayed put, finding himself squarely in focus as Chelsea captain Reece James lifted the trophy and his team-mates celebrated around him.
