Chef Nusret Gokçe, who served gold-coated pieces of meat to players at the World Cup, also made waves with the World Cup after Argentina’s victory over France.
Gokçe, or Salt Bae, as he is known, posed for photos on the lawn alongside the Argentine players and took the Cup in his hands, which was with striker Di María.
According to Fifa rules, the World Cup can only pass through the hands of champions, former champions or heads of state.
Salt Bae stepped into the World Cup spotlight after serving gold meat to Brazil and Spain national team players, drawing criticism.
Five-time champion Ronaldo, who was with the Brazilian national team players at the meeting with the chef, countered the criticism by saying that “there was nothing wrong”.
