Lionel Messi almost got into trouble with Chinese border police after using his Spanish passport rather than his Argentinian one.
Over the weekend, Messi traveled to Beijing by private plane with his "bodyguard" and a number of famous friends, including Angel Di Maria.
The former Barcelona player was detained over the weekend as he attempted to enter the nation to join the national team camp in advance of a friendly match.
Furthermore, it was said that he was held up for two hours before eventually receiving a visa and being allowed to pass when the issue was fixed.
The Argentine team, led by Lionel Messi, is scheduled to play an exhibition game against Australia on Thursday at Beijing's Workers' Stadium before heading south to play Indonesia four days later.
After that, Messi is anticipated to take a little sabbatical before joining Inter Miami in July.
The 35-year-old chose to transfer to MLS over offers from Saudi Arabia and his previous team, Barcelona.
