Cristiano Ronaldo received a rapturous welcome in Hong Kong, in contrast to Lionel Messi, who was booed for his absence from a demonstration match.

Cristiano Ronaldo was given a hero's welcome in Hong Kong at an Al-Nassr match, receiving a positive reaction from fans. This comes in opposition to his rival Lionel Messi, who was considered public enemy number one last year for not taking part in a demonstration match. This underlines the rivalry between the two footballers and the different fan perception of them.
