Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal and Brazil winger Neymar has assessed the quality of the football pitch in Tehran ahead of the AFC Champions League away match against Iran's Nassaji Mazandaran.
A video of Azadi Stadium staff laying pieces of grass on the concrete appeared online. The 31-year-old Brazilian left the following comment under the post: 'It's impossible'. Neymar also captioned the post with two emoji - a laughing to tears emoji and a facepalm emoji.
The AFC Champions League group stage match between Iran's Nassaji Mazandaran and reigning tournament winner Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia will be played in Tehran on Tuesday, October 3. The starting whistle will sound at 19:00 GMT+3.
Earlier there was information that Neymar may leave Al Hilal and move to Brazilian Santos before the World Cup-2026.
