More than 60 world leaders gathered in Paris Sunday to mark 100 years since the end of World War I, and although the general theme was unity, President Donald Trump seemed determined to stand apart. While world leaders took a bus to the Arc de Triomphe and walked side-by-side as bells tolled to mark the exact moment 100 years ago when the war ended, Trump arrived with his own motorcade .

The 21-year-old caught the eye in Lyon's surprise 2-1 win against the Blues in the Champions League this season, and it is thought Pep Guardiola has earmarked him to provide competition for Fernandinho at the base of City's midfield.
