When Argentina was on their victory lap after defeating France, the Turkish chef somehow made it onto the pitch. Salt Bae even tried to get a picture with Lionel Messi himself. He tapped on the footballer’s shoulder who just nodded at him amidst the celebrations. Then, after a few attempts, he finally got a picture with the GOAT himself. But, that was not all, he still pestered other Argentina stars to get into pictures with them.
Salt Bae was also seen getting his pictures clicked with Angel di Maria, Lisandro Martinez, and Cristian Romero. He even touched the 18-carat gold World Cup trophy while posing for pictures. He even did his theatrical seasoning pose with the World Cup trophy which enraged the fans even further.

Nusret Gokce or better known as Salt Bae has been taking the heat from the world for his douchebag behavior at the celebration ceremony of the World Cup. Since his intolerant behavior has enraged so many fans, some organizations have decided to ban him from coming to their events. US Open Cup, the equivalent of the UK’s FA Cup announced on Twitter that the Turkish chef will be banned from coming to their final in 2023.

His touching the World Cup trophy has really triggered the fans who said it is against the rules. The Turkish Chef is allegedly a close friend of FIFA president Gianni Infantino. According to the rules laid by the institution, only a very selected group of individuals are allowed to touch the trophy. These include “former winners of the FIFA World Cup and heads of state.” Gokce was in clear violation of these rules but FIFA has not ruled any kind of ruling for the Chef’s behavior as of yet.
The netizens however were not having any of it and blasted him all over social media for his antics.
