Salt Bae claims he will 'NEVER set foot on a World Cup pitch again' as he explains why he harassed Argentina players and grabbed the trophy after the final in Qatar last year
Celebrity chef Salt Bae has spoken out on his global humiliation at last year's World Cup final, when he bizarrely went onto the field and chased after several Argentina players moments after they beat France to win the trophy.
Lionel Messi appeared visibly frustrated at the celebrity chef trying to get to him as he celebrated winning the one major trophy to elude him in his glittering career
In other cringeworthy scenes, the chef put another player's medal in his mouth and kept trying to grab the trophy from the Argentina team as the celebrated.
Now, the 39-year-old, real name Nusret Gokce, has tried to explain what he was thinking and says he will never set foot on the pitch at World Cup again
'I love Argentina; I’ve lived there. I went to support them,' he told The Times about why he was at the game.
Many of [the team] have come to the restaurant. I didn’t feel a stranger. It was a special moment. I can’t do anything about the reason I was there, but I would never, ever step on the World Cup pitch again.
