Cole Palmer and Reece James were confused after Donald Trump celebrated with them when they cancel the club World Cup.
Chelsea won the tournament by beating Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 on Sunday, with Palmer twice on goal before he put an assist for Joao Pedro to add a brutal third before the break.
But while the blues were preparing for the trophy lift ceremony, they were threatened with overdressed by US President Trump.
The 79-year-old was seen that many of the medals in addition to FIFA president Gianni hand out Infantino before the two lifted the trophy to Chelsea Captain James.
Although political figures are usually expected to leave the stage at that time to give the team their moment to shine, Trump remained next to the team with a bright smile.
Trump initially seemed to be gesting from the stage by infantino before James, 25, asked him to ask him: “Do you stay?”
The Republican also unintentionally blocked the view of Golden Ball winner Palmer, who had a confused look on his face while he was also seen and asked James: “What is he doing?”
Speaking after the game, Palmer, 23 and James, both admitted that they were surprised about the state of affairs.
Palmer said to the BBC: “I knew he would be here, but I didn't know he would be in the stands when we lifted the trophy, so I was a bit confused, yes.”
Captain James added to Sky Sports: “Before they told me that he (Trump) would present the trophy and then leave the stage.
“Then I thought he would leave the stage, but he wanted to stay.”
After the game, Trump revealed that he was having a good time and joked that he would even consider signing an executive order to change the naming of America of “football” in football for next summer's world cup.
This summer's World Cup served as a preamble for the coveted international tournament next summer, of which FIFA estimates 6.5 million visitors to stadiums in the US, Canada and Mexico.
Trump's appearance at the Metlife Stadium was met by a mix of applause and angry by the crowd, exactly one year after the murder attack he survived in Pennsylvania during an election rally.
