Salt Bae has attracted the ire of football fans after making his way onto the pitch appearing to pester Lionel Messi for a photo as the Argentine talisman tried to celebrate with his teammates.
The Turkish chef, who went viral for a flamboyant hand gesture as he salts steak, was spotted on the pitch shortly after the final spot kick in Argentina’s thrilling victory over France on Sunday.
In viral footage, Salt Bae is seen tugging at Lionel Messi’s arm repeatedly as the attacker appears to try and pull away from his attention.
