Cole Palmer drops the coldest three-word message on Instagram after Donald Trump controversy at Club World Cup final

Palmer and his Chelsea team-mates celebrated their Club World Cup success with an unexpected visitor.

Cole Palmer has posted a three-word message on Instagram after Chelsea won the Club World Cup - and had their trophy lift 'gatecrashed' by US President Donald Trump.

The Blues defeated Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 at the MetLife Stadium on Sunday evening.

Palmer netted a brace in New Jersey, with Joao Pedro putting Chelsea three goals ahead before half-time.

PSG would finish the game with 10 players after Joao Neves was sent off for pulling Marc Cucurella's hair late on.

But attention after the match focused on the presence of Trump, who handed out medals to both sets of players and presented the Club World Cup trophy to Blues captain Reece James.

Instead of then exiting the stage, however, Trump stayed put during the trophy lift - even though FIFA President Gianni Infantino attempted to usher him away - and effectively celebrated with the Chelsea team.

In his post-match press conference, Palmer stated that he was 'a little bit confused' by what the US President did - having been seen to look bemused at Trump's presence.

The Chelsea star has since posted to Instagram after the Club World Cup final, alongside a photo of himself - minus Trump - lifting the trophy aloft.

The post was accompanied by a cold three-word caption: "Doubt us now."

Alongside his post-match press conference duties, Palmer was also interviewed pitchside by DAZN - who quickly had to apologise for expletive language.

The England international stated that 'everyone has talked a lot of s**t about us all season', before adding: "It's a great feeling [to win the trophy]. Even better because everyone doubted us before the game, we knew that.

"To put a fight on like we did, it's good. I like finals. It's happened again.

"The gaffer put a great gameplan out. He knew where the space was going to be. He tried to free me up as much as possible, and I just had to repay him and score some goals."

Palmer continued: "He is building something special, something important."
