East Rutherford – Donald Trump (below) experienced the agony and the ecstasy of football on Sunday as he was booed at the final of the Fifa Club World Cup – even as he joined in some celebrations with champions Chelsea.

The US president was front and centre as the winners took to the stage, grinning broadly in his red tie and clapping and jumping with the players as the jubilant Blues lifted the gleaming trophy, which he had presented to captain Reece James.

But moments earlier, loud booing could be heard among cheers and applause as Trump walked onto the pitch for the presentation with Fifa president Gianni Infantino – before the music in the stadium was turned up.

Earlier, the Republican billionaire was also applauded as he and First Lady Melania Trump arrived for the match at the MetLife stadium in New Jersey, just outside New York City.

But when a jumbotron screen briefly showed Trump saluting to the US national anthem, yet more boos could be heard in the giant stadium, before the camera quickly cut away.
