Franck Ribery bought a £1,000, gold-covered steak earlier this week at Salt Bae's famous restaurant and well, it didn't go down well with some of his 3.9 million followers on Instagram.

The Bayern Munich winger, who is set to leave the club this summer, welcomed 2019 with a nice, juicy steak made by the very best.

It, of course, sparked a massive reaction but Ribery is far from concerned, posting the following response to his video.

"For 2019, let's dot the i's and cross the t's... Let's start with the jealous, the haters, those clearly born from a condom with a hole in:" he said.

"F*ck your mothers, your grandmothers and even your family tree. I owe you nothing. My success is above all thanks to god, me, and my loved ones who believed in me.

"For the others, you're nothing but pebbles in my socks!"

This isn't the first time Ribery has made the headlines in recent weeks. He admitted that he was involved in an altercation with a reporter back in November.

Patrick Guillou, who claimed on TV that the 35-year-old winger was responsible for Borussia Dortmund scoring twice against Bayern Munich.
