Chelsea v PSG – Club World Cup final live: Score and result as Cole Palmer stars in front of US President Trump

“I think for sure we are moving in the right direction, you know, winning this trophy against such good opposition,” he said.

“So it's a big statement. I'm happy with how much the club has progressed and how next season you know we're competing in the Premier League, to win the title and compete and to go far in the Champions League as well.”

“The venue is top. The pitches are not so good. Hopefully there are some changes for the World Cup next year,” he said.

“There's astro underneath and maybe grass on top. It's not the best for the body, for the joints, for the muscles.

“You will all see higher quality games and higher quality football if we play on a surface which we play on in Europe.”

“I don't need to say about them because it's normal,” he said. “Everyone wants to win the game and in the end I think they lose their heads.

“But this is football, this is happening. Now you need to enjoy because you won the tournament, that's it.

“I don't want to talk too much about them because you know how it works. Football is this.”

Chelsea’s players have given an insight on what was said when Donald Trump crashed their Club World Cup trophy ceremony.

The US president joined Fifa chief Gianni Infantino on the pitch after full-time to present Chelsea with the trophy, after the Blues shocked European champions PSG to win 3-0 in the final.

But bizarrely, Trump opted not to follow Infantino out of shot once handing captain Reece James the trophy, instead lingering as Chelsea’s stars were forced to celebrate around him.

Cole Palmer hit back at the critics who had been giving Chelsea “s***” after firing them to Club World Cup glory in New York.

Man-of-the-match Palmer scored the first two goals and set up the third in a surprise 3-0 final victory over Champions League winners Paris St Germain at the MetLife Stadium as Enzo Maresca’s men capped an encouraging season in style.

Asked how excited he was by the team Maresca is building at Stamford Bridge, the England international told DAZN: “He’s building something special, something important with a young team. Everyone’s talked a lot of s*** about us all season, but I feel like we’re going in the right direction.”

Donald Trump was rained with boos on American soil when taking to the pitch at the end of the Club World Cup final.

US president Trump joined Fifa chief Gianni Infantino in awarding the trophy to Chelsea, who shocked European champions PSG to win the final 3-0 at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium.

However, he did not receive the reaction he may have hoped for as the fans inside the stadium, many of whom would have hailed from England or France, expressed their displeasure at his presence.
