Celebrity Chef Salt Bae grabbed the headlines for the wrong reasons after the FIFA World Cup 2022 final at the Lusail Stadium. He firstly disturbed Argentina skipper and legendary striker Lionel Messi for a picture for a couple of times. Even though Messi was visibly irritated and annoyed with his presence, he ultimately obliged for a picture.
A video surfaced on the internet which showed that Salt Bae grabbed Messi’s hands and was forcing him for a picture.
Salt Bae has now been banned by the US Open Cup management from attending the final of the tournament. He also found himself breaking a few rules at Qatar. Salt Bae touched and kissed the FIFA World Cup trophy. This is strictly prohibited as FIFA has a fixed number of people who can touch the coveted trophy.
Only the team members and the head of states can touch the trophy. Post the final, Salt Bae was seen touching the trophy and also kissing it.
