SALT BAE has been spotted arriving at tonight’s Champions League final.
The famous chef was slammed for his outrageous antics on the pitch after the World Cup final in Qatar last December.
Salt Bae, real name Nusret Gokce, was caught on camera trying to take the World Cup trophy from victorious Argentina stars on the pitch after the match.
In embarrassing scenes, the Turkish chef snatched the World Cup trophy from Angel Di Maria and Cristian Romero.
He also kissed it as if he’d won it himself, while also biting a winner’s medal.
Gary Lineker called Salt Bae a “pest” at the time, while ex-FA chairman Greg Dyke slammed Fifa president Gianni Infantino for allowing him onto the pitch.
