In one of the most spectacular games in years, Argentina won the 2022 World Cup in the final against France with a narrow 4-3 victory after the winning penalty. The win gives Argentina a third title and cements Lionel Messi as one of the best to ever play the game. But after the win, as cameras panned Argentina’s celebrations, an unexpected but still familiar face appeared on the pitch and was snubbed by football’s biggest star in one of the most incredible moments to be filmed since Elon. Musk joined Chappelle on stage and booed.
Salt Bae, the living meme who became famous for… playfully handing out salt (in simpler times) can be seen from several angles trying to get Messi’s attention and share the World Cup spotlight only to be snubbed like George Costanza hits a beautiful woman. And Messi wasn’t the only person Salt Bae tried to steal the spotlight from, he snapped in front of several other cameras with players visibly uncomfortable following the desperation and even touching the cup with their hands. against the rules.
It should come as no surprise that people on Twitter have been grilling Salt Bae all morning. Here are some of the best answers on the web.
A set of Salt Bae trying to make an impact with these players. It’s so painful to watch. How to force yourself between 2 players and try to grab the cup while the players try to remain professional but their faces are clearly showing they are nervous. pic.twitter.com/BbChdBEK3M

Nonsense. Who left Saltbay out? Saw a bunch of photos of him DEFENDING the World Cup trophy and even a picture of him biting the medal. At least Messi knew not to pay attention to that guy trying to get attention about HIM. Desperately grabs Messi https://t.co/CJzyHZXFes pic.twitter.com/25K4i1k0Ge

Todo mal con Qatar yesterday. besides Messi’s bat, what the hell was Salt Bae painting in the middle of the celebration? Intentando quitarle la cupa a Lisandro, mirad la face de incredulidad del jugador.

Salt Bay doing an absolute dose of themselves during the World Cup just made my guts churn. When should we be sensible about this mercy, food?

I’d love to hear FIFA explain why this celebrity chef is on the pitch at the World Cup final for a selfie with Messi etc. pic.twitter.com/YcUxj4zpbm
