One person commented online: "Roll meat in gold, pay 1000 EUR and post a video. What a world."
Others were more sympathetic, admiring Ribéry's ostentation.

The Frenchman has responded to his critics via social media. His statement in full, translated from French, reads as follows:
"Let's set things straight in 2019.
"Let's start with the envious, the angry, the people that have been spawned from a broken condom. F*ck your mothers, your grandmothers and even your family tree.
"I owe you nothing, my success is thanks to god, myself and my family and friends who believed in me. The others were always merely stones in my shoes.
"Secondly, to the pseudo-journalists that always criticised me and my actions (last example, the price of my food!).
"When I give [to charity] (because I've been taught to always give when I receive a lot) why no big national media is talking about it?
"You would rather talk about the vacation that I spent with my family, you watch my every move, what I eat and so on... You’re always here for this kind of futility."

Ribéry is now 35 years old, still - incredibly - playing for Bayern Munich, although the Bundesliga champions are six points behind rivals Borussia Dortmund at the top of the table.Explore more on these topics:
