Argentine footballer Papu Gomez: 'What was Nusret doing there? I still can't understand it'

Argentina's national football team won the World Cup in Qatar, but Nusret entering the pitch to take photos with the trophy remains an event that some players still cannot make sense of.

Argentine footballer Papu Gomez described the incident in an interview, saying:

"After the final, it was pure madness. We were all crying. But there is one thing that amazed me. We were on the pitch, and suddenly we saw the famous Turkish chef we know for his Salt Bae move. He had come onto the pitch and taken the World Cup from our hands. While he was taking photos with that World Cup, we and our families had to wait for him to be able to take photos. What was he doing there? I still can't understand it."

Touching on the match they played against the Netherlands, Gomez said, "We were going to play against the Netherlands. At that time, the Brazil-Croatia match was being played. We were thinking that Brazil would win easily and that we also needed to win. When we arrived at the stadium, we learned that Croatia had taken the match to penalties. We were warming up on one hand and waiting for news from the match on the other. When we learned that Croatia had won, we celebrated as if we had won. Then our coach Scaloni came and shouted at us, 'What are you doing, focus on the match, you idiots.'"
