Hot mic captures broadcaster's blunt comment as Trump crashes Spain’s World Cup trophy celebration

The whole world was watching on as Spain lifted the World Cup trophy on Sunday (July 19), but most eyes were on Donald Trump as he 'gatecrashed' the party - and one commentator did not back.

Although each country were watching the same nail-biting World Cup final, commentary varied depending on what part of the world viewers were in.

For example, those watching on the BBC in the UK had the pleasure of ex-footballer Wayne Rooney calling the star-studded halftime show 'c**p', as well as one commentator referring to legendary singer Pharrell Williams as 'AKA Rocky' before correcting himself to 'A$AP Rocky' (still not right).

Those in Australia were able to hear a cheeky comment about President Trump in which the commentator may have forgotten his mic was on. Well, now thanks to the internet, the whole world has heard it.

Reactions were going viral as Trump 'refused' to move out of the way of the Spanish team's celebrations, the broadcaster's hot mic caught him saying: "It's now, so they can edit him out of that."

The broadcaster was seemingly talking about the pictures taken of the team as they lift the trophy for the first time, with the confetti falling down, as Trump could be seen clapping and smiling in the corner.

It looks like FIFA President Gianni Infantino was trying to 'edit' the president out in real life, as he could be seen leading him away from the shot so the team could enjoy their moment.

Despite the 2026 FIFA World Cup being held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, the POTUS did not show up to any of the games hosted in his home country, with the final being his first game.

It doesn't look like his presence will be forgotten anytime soon!

Although his role wasn't to stand in the way of Spain celebrating, he did attend the World Cup final to present both the Argentinian and Spanish players with the trophy, and medals.

Many were watching on closely to see if any players avoided shaking hands with the president, as he placed the silver and gold medals around their necks.

He also had a short message to share with each player, which he didn't seem to customize.

Nicola Hickling, of LipReader Ltd, on behalf of Covers.com, told the Mirror he simply said: "You are a champ," before adding: "Amazing player."
