Historic moments took place on the field of the “Lusail Stadium” in Qatar that Sunday.
After Lionel Messi led Argentina to their first World Cup in 36 years, emotions ran wild at the battle scene. The “Albiceleste” – and above all Messi – celebrated for a long time, hugged each other’s arms and lifted the most coveted trophy in world football into the Qatari night sky.
The fact that uninvited guests also gained access to the pitch in all the hustle and bustle not only caused problems for some of those involved, but also led to an investigation by FIFA.
“Salt Bae” has attracted attention with unpleasant behavior
Star chef “Salt Bae”, real name Nusret Kokce, annoyed by his inappropriate appearance. A video of him grabbing an overjoyed Lionel Messi’s arm to take a selfie with him has caused anger among some football fans. The situation looks visibly uncomfortable for the Argentine superstar. The internet star also tried with all her might to have her picture taken with other Argentinian players.
However, the restaurateur, who became famous mainly thanks to his social network activities, went one step further: Kökce posed with the World Cup trophy in a row, an honor that is actually only reserved for tournament winners, officials of the world association or to heads of state.
A spokesman for the worldwide association has now commented on the events. “Following an investigation, FIFA has established how people gained illegal access to the pitch after Sunday’s closing ceremony at Lusail Stadium. Appropriate internal measures are underway.”
