A sharp word with a security guard could easily have had him removed. I’ve seen it myself, people pick at the food, but have their hands glued to their phones. “This is ridiculous, shame on FIFA for allowing him to touch, kiss, and hold the World Cup. Unless you are directly associated to this Argentina team, you should NOT be touching [the] trophy or gatecrashing the party.” Back in 2018, he pranced around the pitch in the rain and practically had to have the trophy wrestled from his grasp by Infantino, having kissed it more than once. You could argue that the World Cup is such a powerful honor only those with the closest connection to the players should be allowed onto the pitch, but frankly whoever wins it deserves to be able to do what they want. While Terry Flewers assertion that only those with a direct connection to the team can join the celebrations after winning the trophy, the reality is any concept of the sanctity of this event has disappeared. Diego Maradona was a regular visitor to his Dubai restaurant when he lived there and Gokce closed his favorite table as a mark of respect in the wake of his death. Ahead of the final the influencer also promised the team a free meal if they won the trophy and keen not to miss out made sure he was at the game. Perhaps wanting to make that point, the Turkish influencer re-shared footage of Lionel Messi in 2018 pulling his arm to get a picture after the Salt Bae was mocked for being ignored in his efforts to do the same after the final. None of this justifies his clowning around with the trophy, but it explains why he was there in the first place. People don’t go visit his Nusr-Et restaurants to have their palate’s tickled they pay for an experience that can be uploaded to social media.
