    In a video posted on Instagram, two lucky men are seen painting mini Argentina national flags over the women’s areola.
    The fine craftsmanship made sure their nipples were perfectly positioned in line with the Sol De Mayo, accentuating the symbol in cooler conditions.
    The women involved have now become household names after they were spotted live on TV stripping off to celebrate Argentina’s dramatic win over France.
    The footage of Noemi Gomez – known as Noe Dreams – and Milu Barbiie’s brazen stunt in Qatar was soon shared on social media and went viral.

    At the time, fears mounted over the women because there had been no sign of Noe after she was reportedly removed from the stadium.
    But on Monday, it appeared Noe – who has named herself “The Topless Girl” on social media – and her friend escaped punishment in Qatar.
    Noe shared more topless clips from Sunday’s celebrations – and even appeared to post a picture of her boarding a plane out of the country.
    She didn’t just get her kit off inside the stadium – Noe shared a new video of her and her pal whipping their tops off outside the Lusail while taking a photo with grinning fans.

    A third said: “You can share as many pictures and videos with Messi as you want, that doesn’t change the fact that your behaviour after the match was totally wrong.” 
    Messi ate at Gökçe’s Dubai steakhouse with his wife Antonela Roccuzzo and a pal in November 2018.
    Another video from the time shows how they got the full VIP treatment.
    After theatrically slicing their steak at the table, Salt Bae invited Messi to sprinkle salt over it, mimicking his trademark gesture.
    Then other diners were heard cheering as the chef fed a slice of beef into Messi’s mouth using the tip of his knife.
    The world’s greatest player seemed delighted by the encounter, which Salt Bae posted on Instagram.
    Messi also posed for a picture with Gökçe and former Man Utd midfielder Paul Pogba, who dined there the same night.
    At the time the two stars were on a break from international duty.
    Another video showed them deep in conversation – sparking transfer speculation as Pogba urged Messi: “We have to play together”.
    Gökçe has posted selfies with scores of footballers and other celebrities and has forged a friendship with Fifa boss Gianni Infantino.
    The world governing body faces questions over why the celebrity chef was allowed on the pitch following embarrassing scenes at the showpiece final.
    As well as badgering Messi, he was filmed muscling in on the Argentina squad’s celebrations and snatching the trophy from one winner’s baby.

    Eagle-eyed viewers spotted her topless performance in the stands after she seemingly flashed the cameras.
    Her pal Milubarbiee, who was also filmed with her top off amid the wild celebrations, referred to the pair as “The Topless Girls”.
    Their actions risked arrest and even a lengthy prison sentence in Qatar, where women are banned from wearing revealing clothing in public and public nudity is forbidden.
    But Noe broke her silence yesterday to give an update on what had happened since the duo were filmed stripping in the stadium.

    Initially, with the two not being identified, there were fears they had been hit with serious police action.
    But Noe revealed that she has got home safely as she shared a new photo from the final on her Instagram.
    She also uploaded more videos of herself flashing with her growing fanbase.
    Noe shared several pictures of herself outside the stadium waving the blue and white Argentinian flag, as well as a video of Messi and co celebrating following their thrilling penalty shootout victory over France.
    Most read in Football
    She also posted a snap of her and her friend topless in the stands with Argentina flags painted on their breasts.
    Noe said the flag was “dedicated” to her friends and family “who always support me with messages and words… to express their pride and good wishes”.
    In an apparent dig at her critics, she added: “PS whoever is world champion celebrates as they want.”
    On Tuesday, Noe posted a video of herself looking happy on a plane and giving the thumbs up with the caption: “Start the ship for once before they come to pick me up at 1pm.”
    She also shared news stories from around the world covering her stunt on her Instagram story, as well as clips of the enormous parties taking place in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires in the wake of the victory.

    As a nod to her newfound fame, Noe changed her Instagram bio to read “the topless girl”.
    Her fellow glam “topless girl” milubarbiie also shares a number of exotic shots on her Instagram and has a matching Insta bio.
    She recently went camel-riding in Qatar, and appeared to visit Naples and other destinations at the same time as Noe.
    Milubarbiie went on a number of foreign holidays this year, including to Rome, Paris, Amsterdam, and Ibiza.
    She showed her love for her country by posing in a bikini in the blue and white colours of the Argentina flag along with the caption: “Let’s go team. Go Argentina!”
    The blonde also shared some behind-the-scenes snaps showing her bodypaint being applied to her boobs.
    She and Noe filmed themselves dancing topless in front of the bathroom mirror in the run-up to the World Cup final.
    In the run-up to the tournament, fans were warned that they would have to abide by Qatar’s strict customs on clothing.
    The country’s Tourism Agency wrote: “Visitors (men as well as women) are expected to show respect for local culture by avoiding excessively revealing clothing in public.”
    Remarking on Noe’s stunt, one fan said: “I spotted her, very brave! She’ll be arrested over there if she’s not careful.”
    But it appears that Qatar’s authorities were careful not to arrest people for racy stunts during the World Cup.
