Trump, Coldplay & red carpets - was Club World Cup final more like Superbowl or soccer?
@Source: bbc.com
The post-match action began in lively fashion as both sets of players became involved in a brawl after the final whistle, but once tempers had calmed, it was time for Messrs Trump and Infantino to hand out some awards. Real Madrid's Gonzalo Garcia collected the top scorer prize, PSG's Desire Doue was named young player of the tournament, Chelsea keeper Robert Sanchez picked up the golden glove award, while Cole Palmer - the Blues' two-goal hero in the final –was named the player of the tournament. After the two sets of players had collected their medals, Trump and Infantino presented the Club World Cup trophy to Chelsea captain Reece James. According to Fifa, the Club World Cup trophy is inspired by the periodic table and historic golden records sent into space aboard the Voyager probes. It can also be 'opened' with a special key, which only Infantino is permitted to use. Perhaps to the relief of captain James and his Chelsea team-mates, the trophy was already in its 'open' position when it was handed to the Blues' skipper. With Trump in close proximity, James lifted the enormous trophy into the East Rutherford sky as the Chelsea celebrations began in earnest - nearly three hours after kick-off.
