That moment actually has a better Trump analogy, the time Trump stole the FIFA Gold Club World Cup trophy and FIFA had to eventually decide to make a statement that they were giving it to Trump - which is unlike anything that’s ever happened before for a FIFA trophy.

The first comment in your link says the opposite:

> Doing my sad job of having to defend Trump (sadly):

> He did not "kept" for himself. FIFA that decided to keep it in the white house

> It is normal for champions to receive and keep a replica during and after the awards. Happens, for example, in the World Cup, Champions League and Libertadores.

> Probably, FIFA will take the trophy back eventually and keep it in Switzerland just like the WC one.

> This is political tabloid click/ragebait.
