Spain ​beat defending champions Argentina 1-0 to win ⁠the title.

The boos had stopped when ​Trump and Infantino presented the players and ​coaches with their medals before they handed out the trophy.

Trump, who arrived at the stadium by ​helicopter, stayed on the podium with ​the Spanish players before being invited to the side as captain Rodri ‌was ⁠about to lift the trophy in front of a barrage of photographers.

Trump was at the centre of the biggest controversy of the World ​Cup when ​he called ⁠Infantino to ask him to review a red card handed ​to US striker Folarin Balogun in ​a ⁠group stage match against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Balogun’s one-game red-card ban was suspended, and ⁠he ​played against Belgium in the ​last 16, although the US lost 4-1.
