Steakhouse owner Nusret Gökçe, also known as Salt Bae, is once again at the center of the football world... Gökçe, who was alleged to have been denied entry to a private celebration party held after the UEFA Champions League final, made a statement regarding the matter. 

Nusret Gökçe used the following expressions regarding the events:

''The 'Nusret was kicked out' news circulating on social media is not true. Actually, there was no after-party there. I didn't go to such an invitation either. A meddlesome person in the back just made such a gesture while I was passing by. However, the incident of being kicked out is not real. This is a character assassination''
