The China tour ended on a bad note

After the announcement of the cancellation was made, hundreds of fans stormed outside the hotel where the Al Nassr team was staying. The security of the hotel could not even control the crowd. In the end, they had to call the police to intervene in the matter.

The organizers also tried to convince the Al Nassr star player to showcase some skills for the fans. However, the 38-year-old rejected the request. To make matters worse for the Al Nassr star, the fans could have the opportunity should Lionel Messi visit China with the Argentina team for friendly games.
