Salt Bae FIFA WC: FIFA World Cup: The World Cup 2022 final between Argentina and France went down to the wire, with the La Albiceleste winning the game 4-2 on penalties. There was no shortage of drama and the same continued after the game too. Salt Bae, the famous chef, was caught up in controversy as he made his way out onto the pitch.

Now, it seems FIFA has launched a probe in figuring out how he got onto the pitch.

There is action to be taken against staff who allowed him to enter the pitch. You can clearly spot Messi’s reluctance in talking or taking a quick picture with Salt Bae.
