Bayern president: Ribery should have bounced his golden steak off the wall

Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness has suggested Franck Ribery should have bounced his golden steak off the wall after his now infamous Instagram post.

The French midfielder posted a picture of himself seemingly about to devour a £1,000 ($1275) steak seasoned with gold leaf during Bayern’s annual winter break.

During January’s trip to Qatar, the 36-year-old made a detour to one of his favourite restaurants in Dubai and promptly ordered the Tomahawk steak at Nusr-Et, run by Turkish butcher and celebrity Nusret Gokce.

The controversial post drew widespread criticism on social media and earned him a fine from Bayern thanks to his expletive-laden response.
