Excitement among thousands of fans dreaming of seeing Lionel Messi at the famous Salt Lake Stadium in India turned into chaos. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to the “Times of India” publication, the Argentine football legend appeared on the stadium in Kolkata, waved to the fans, greeted them, and performed a short training session. However, he left the stadium after a few minutes.
This situation caused dissatisfaction among fans who had waited for a long time. Many sports enthusiasts had purchased expensive tickets to see Messi.
Some fans spent more than 100 dollars on tickets, which is equivalent to an average monthly salary in India. According to them, the brief meeting was not worth such a large expense.
VIP guests and officials surrounded Messi at the stadium, so ordinary fans could not see him from a close distance. “Messi appeared for only 10 minutes.
We saw nothing. All the waiting and expenses were in vain,” said one of the dissatisfied fans.
According to information, Lionel Messi visited the cities of Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi, and Kolkata during a three-day trip along with his Inter Miami teammates Luis Suarez and Rodrigo De Paul. His trip to India was met with great interest.
