On the ground, Chelsea had done everything perfectly. A net 3-0 without burr against PSG in the final of the Club World Cup, a historic title and an impressive collective service. But when savoring, the blues saw their moment of glory turning to confusion. Because a last minute guest slipped into the ceremony. And he did not go unnoticed.
Trump has spoiled the Chelsea party
Marc Cucurella told in detail the lunar scene caused by Donald Trump, present to put the trophy back. Problem: the American president did not respect the protocol and decided to stay on the lawn with the players … throughout the ceremony. “We had been told that we could not lift the trophy as long as he was not gone. But he didn't want to leave ”said Cucurella to journalist Gerard Romero. Caught off guard, the players dared not say anything: “I was dead from Trouille. Who would dare to tell him to leave? ».
In the images that have become viral, we see Gianni Infantino trying in vain to keep Trump away, while the players, dumbfounded, look at each other while waiting for the green light to celebrate. The Spanish defender admits to having believed in a bad joke. “He repeated 'go ahead, raise the trophy, I'm staying there'. It was unreal. »» A moment that stole media attention and diverted the feast from its primary sense.
Cucurella between embarrassment, humor and misunderstanding
This funny scene also reveals a tense climate around high -level sports celebrations, where political intrusion can parasitize emotion. For Cucurella, this kind of experience must remain unique. “I just hope that, if we still win a title, there will not be another president to block the ceremony”he concluded with humor.
The episode will be a date in the history of the blues. For the score, for performance and also for this moment of floating when Chelsea had to celebrate a coronation … in the company of a very special guest.
