With the 2018 World Cup in Russia up and running, it was a huge surprise that both the Argentinian captain Lionel Messi and Brazilian superstar Neymar made a 'flying visit' to Malaysia.

The international football mega stars were warmly received by the hundreds who had gathered to witness their arrival, and no one was more excited than Argentina’s ambassador to Malaysia, Manuel Balaguer Salas and his nation’s long standing football rival, none other than Brazil’s ambassador to Malaysia Carlos Martins Ceglia.
