Lionel Messi’s GOAT Tour event at the Salt Lake Stadium left thousands of Indian football fans upset after they barely got to see the football icon.
Every Indian football fan thought that this moment was meant to be a once-in-a-lifetime moment for the Indian football fans. However, all this ended in total frustration.
Messi arrived at the venue at around 11:15 am but stayed only for five minutes, which caused frustration in many Indian football fans.
Fans bought expensive tickets ranging from ₹5,000 and ₹45,000, and many fans said they couldn’t even spot him from the stands. What frustrated the fans most was, Messi expected to take a full lap of the stadium, but that never happened.
As the realization set in, every single Indian football fan in the stadium got angry. Some fans even called the event an “absolute disgrace”, and they blamed the management team for poor planning and mismanagement.
Tensions grew to a point where it was seen that bottles and trash were thrown in the stadium as a sign of disappointment. Kolkata is one of the biggest football-loving cities of India, and this event was supposed to be special. Instead, Lionel Messi’s Kolkata visit turned into a moment that these fans will likely want to forget.
