US President Donald Trump Picked His Football G.O.A.T

Donald Trump was one of the high-profile attendees at the stadium alongside FIFA chief Gianni Infantino. During an interaction with DAZN during the match, Trump was asked about his Football G.O.A.T. The US President named Pele as his favourite, snubbing both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

He said, "Many years ago, when I was young, they brought a player called Pele to play and he played for a team called the Cosmos," said Trump.

"And this place was packed - it was an earlier version of this stadium [the MetLife Stadium] and it was Pele."

“I don’t want to date myself but that was a long time ago and I was a young guy so I came to watch Pele and he was fantastic. So probably I’ll go old-fashioned - that’s like saying Babe Ruth and saying Pele was so great.”

The importance of the FIFA Club World Cup is huge, given USA are also set to play host to the next FIFA World Cup in 2026. Incidentally, MetLife Stadium will also hold the World Cup final.
