When Gareth Bale steps onto the runway at Nanjing Airport on a day in July 2019, things get hectic.

Chinese football officials in fine suits almost pull the Welsh football star off the gangway.

They wave excitedly to the many cameras.

Every step is filmed.

Even Bale should have been happy at the time despite the long journey.

The Real Madrid striker had flown in to negotiate with Jiangsu Suning.
