    Chelsea's Club World Cup celebrations were shared with an unexpected guest - US President Donald Trump. Following the Blues' 3-0 win over Paris St-Germain in New Jersey on Sunday, Trump presented the trophy to Chelsea captain Reece James before being invited to move aside by Fifa president Gianni Infantino. However, Trump remained alongside James and goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, and applauded as James lifted the trophy - staying in position for a few seconds before he and Infantino left at the rear of the stage. England international James said: "They told me that he was going to present the trophy and then exit the stage, and I thought that he was going to exit the stage, but he wanted to stay. Cole Palmer, who scored twice for Chelsea in the final, added: "I knew he was going to be here but I didn't know he was going to be on the stand when we lifted the trophy. "I was a bit confused, yes." #TrumpChelsea #Trumptrophy Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subscribetoafrica Website: https://www.bbc.com/africa Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bbcnewsafrica/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/bbcafrica/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bbcafrica/
