Fans think Chelsea player snubbed Donald Trump during Club World Cup trophy ceremony

Chelsea claimed the FIFA Club World Cup title on Sunday night after defeating Paris Saint Germain 3-0 in the final held at MetLife Stadium.

Goals from Cole Palmer, who scored twice, and new addition Joao Pedro sealed a dominant win for Chelsea over the Champions League holders and tournament favourites.

The Blues had a strong run to the title, defeating LAFC, Flamengo, ES Tunis, Benfica, Palmeiras, and Fluminense before facing PSG in the final.

During the post-match ceremony, former US President Donald Trump, alongside FIFA President Gianni Infantino, joined Chelsea players on the podium as medals were handed out.

One moment during the presentation gained attention online, as fans noticed Chelsea youngster Tyrique George appeared to skip shaking Trump’s hand after receiving his medal.

Social media reactions suggested that George may have intentionally passed on the handshake, though footage shows Trump with his back turned at the moment, appearing to grab another medal.

Fans joked about the incident online, with some saying George seized the moment while Trump wasn’t looking, and others speculating whether the snub was deliberate or just coincidental.

After the match, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca praised his team, calling the victory a major achievement—especially against a side like PSG, which he described as the best in the world with top-class players and a world-renowned coach.
