\"Trump <\/a>Trump was seen putting one of the medals inside his pocket<\/p>\n

Chelsea\u2019s 2025 Club World Cup celebrations in the United States have taken on an amusing twist after a video emerged showing US President Donald Trump putting Noni Madueke\u2019s winners\u2019 medal in his pocket during the trophy ceremony.<\/p>\n

The moment came after Chelsea\u2019s convincing 3-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the final, which sealed their second Club World Cup title. <\/p>\n

Trump, who was invited to present the trophy to Chelsea captain Reece James, stayed on the podium to congratulate the players and hand out medals, but with Madueke having left the squad early, there was one medal left over.<\/p>\n

In the viral clip, Trump is seen folding the lace of the unclaimed medal before slipping it neatly into his suit pocket as the Blues celebrated around him.<\/p>\n

Chelsea defender, Marc Cucurella, couldn\u2019t resist poking fun at the situation during a question and answer session at his football academy in Spain. <\/p>\n

Asked about Madueke\u2019s decision to leave the team\u2019s camp early to finalise his \u00a352 million move to Arsenal, Cucurella said he thought it was a mistake to miss out on lifting the trophy with his teammates.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he missed a good opportunity. He wasn\u2019t starting, but with everything about his transfer, he could have delayed it a day or two, it wouldn\u2019t have cost him anything,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He then joked about Trump\u2019s unexpected souvenir: <\/p>\n

\u201cHe [Trump] put it in his pocket. He has it there in the White House, very well placed,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Madueke, 23, played in five of Chelsea\u2019s six matches on their run to the final but returned to England early to complete his move to Arsenal, leaving his winners\u2019 medal behind on the podium.<\/p>\n
