Garnacho came on as a 57th-minute substitute and scored his seventh goal of the season.

And that requires diplomacy. Soccer body FIFA is in a better place to resume warm relations with Trump from his first administration compared to the International Olympic Committee, which had a difficult White House encounter in 2017.
