Argentina’s team bus moves under heavy security as they were once attacked by Peruvian fans

A bus carrying the Argentine football team, including Lionel Messi was attacked by Peruvians as they left their training facility in Peru’s capital city of Lima, prior to their World Cup 2014 qualifier against Peru.

The bus was stoned by fans shouting “Cristiano”, “Cristiano”, jibing Lionel Messi, who was present in the bus. Bricks were also thrown at the bus resulting in few broken windows but fortunately, no injuries.

This clash was reflective of the strained relations between the two countries since the 1990’s and the Cenepa War.
