A lip reader has claimed to have revealed what Donald Trump said when speaking to wife Melania about during Sunday's Club World Cup final.
The US President, 79, and the First Lady, 55, were surprise guests at the highly-anticipated game between Chelsea and Paris St-Germain.
And Trump made it no secret that he was there as he was front and centre when Chelsea lifted the trophy following their 3-0 victory.
The President and FIFA President Gianni Infantino jointly carried the trophy to the team on stage at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

He also seemingly inserted himself into the middle of the players during the trophy lift, which understandably left some football fans unhappy.
Social media users questioned why he was there for the celebrations, writing on Twitter: “Tf is Trump doing there man,” and: “Who invited Trump?”
“Never one to back away from the spotlight!!,” wrote another.
Meanwhile, someone else added: “Love him or hate him, this is legendary.
“After handing Chelsea the Club World Cup trophy, Trump was supposed to leave the podium. He didn’t. Instead, he stayed up there celebrating with the players, just soaking in the win like one of the squad.”
Another X user joked that the Chelsea players were waiting for Trump to leave before they lifted the trophy, but of course, he didn’t.
A slightly awkward clip shows the team preparing to celebrate, but seemingly waiting to see if the controversial world leader was going to move out of the frame.
Despite the backlash, Trump seemed to be having the time of his life as he watched the game together in a private box.
And according to lip reader Nicola Hickling, who spoke to the Irish Star, he literally couldn’t have been having a better time.
As he watched on, he allegedly said: “Wow, you can see each team. It looks so good. Fantastic.”
Seemingly unable to get over it, he then beamed: “Good job. Wow. It’s so freaking magical.”

According to Hickling, Trump then turned around and asked Melania what she made of the huge sporting event.
The First Lady’s face was largely covered by a chunky pair of white sunglasses, which she matched to a matching white T-shirt and knee-length skirt.
“Sweetie, do you think it could've been any better?” he asked, turning to his other half.
The lip reader says that Melania then replied to her husband and told him that 'it does, in fact, look amazing’.
According to the publication, Trump and Melania travelled from his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, over to East Rutherford to catch the final game.
Security had, of course, been heightened in anticipation of the couple’s appearance, and they even arrived with a convoy of three helicopters ahead of the match.
