The UEFA Champions League final was more than just about scores. Off the field, a Salt Bae viral moment captured part of the attention.
Following Paris Saint-Germain’s routing of Inter Milan 5–0 in Munich, fans and players celebrated. But an evocative short video clip outside the post-match site captured online attention. It captured Nusret Gokce, better known as Salt Bae, in what appeared to be a heated standoff with security personnel.

The Internet Went Wild
Following the incident, the internet went wild. They guessed he was booted out of PSG’s exclusive bash. Some joked he’d been “yaka paça” (basically, thrown out by the collar). Others claimed it was karma for past misbehaviour, such as barging into Argentina’s World Cup party in 2022.
Memes trailed. So did speculations. Was he not invited? Was he finally being “put in his place”?
Salt Bae Acted Fast
In a social media post, Salt Bae had denied everything. “There was no invitation-only party,” he posted. “We came with the UEFA bus because fans were waiting outside.” He had explained that he was there only to take photographs and wave to fans.
The “confrontation” was merely a staff member, named “Mr. Dormen,” simply showing him to his car, according to him.
“Don’t worry about small things,” Salt Bae wrote later. “The rest is artificial intelligence.”

Truth or Spin?
The remark raised an eyebrow. Was he accusing AI of the appearance of the video? Editing? Or the speed of rumour-spreading?
Reactions are split. Some accept his version. Others believe he’s spinning it. The brief clip does not provide context, but internet viewers rarely give the whole story a chance.
A Familiar Pattern
This is not the first time Salt Bae has stirred drama at a high-profile football event. His tendency to crash into parties—or insert himself into them—has brought both popularity and criticism.
What’s certain is this: get ejected or not, Salt Bae somehow managed to take over headlines following a record-breaking football moment. As social media dissected every frame of video, one thing hasn’t changed— he knows how to remain viral.
